Using /admin/locale/string/edit/308 I have provided a french translation for blogs ("blogues").
A user who has set french as his language does see my translation ("blogues") in the menu but blogs.
Checking for that bug, I have also discovered that it is the same for books ("livres").
The translation DOES WORK for my account, administer, logout for example.

I had a look in the function blog_menu in blog.module

$items[] = array('path' => 'blog', 'title' => t('blogs'),
      'callback' => 'blog_page',
      'access' => user_access('access content'),
      'type' => MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM);

the title is indeed translated. Strange. Is it link to the fact that the administrator can rename it and that title retrieve from the database is not translated? Is it a cache problem?

I am not sufficiently fluent in PHP and Drupal code to discover the reason. Sorry. I hope you will be able to reproduce the problem easily.

Yes, the problem is that the menu title is stored in the menu table and apparently overrides the title given in the translation.

Sorry there is a typo in my bug report above. Of course one must read the second sentence as:

A user who has set french as his language does NOT see my translation ("blogues") in the menu but blogs.

Than you Killes for the fast answer (faster than my typo correction!).
As my users are all french, I will rename the menu titles directly in french.
But it would be good for really multilingual sites if somebody could find a fix for this.

Thank you for the great work.

Is this still current, or has the menu system been fixed?

If not, can blog.module fix this by making the item non-cacheable?

This is definitely fixed in D6.

Not sure if it made it into D5, but if it didn't get into D5 in 2007 it won't in 2010.
