When I have menu item for all languages, It's impossible to translate its menu description (menu link title is OK).

So do I. The only solution I found was to clone the menu and change the description (as also as the menu titles) there!

I've been looking for a solution for this problem all night :)

It seems impossible to translate the description, only solution I can think of is adding it to the i18n-variables in the settings.php but I'm not sure what the exact name of this variable is ...

Is this being addressed? Or is there a solution to work around this problem?

Hmm, same problem. No description to translating. Default language is english, the other is german. I can't translate to german and other langages.

This is really a serious problem, even with all Internationalization modules activated is it impossible to translate the description of a menu item. Would be nice to see an update on this in the next release.

I also can't find a way to translate menu descriptions.
Descriptions appear when hovering over a menu in some templates, so it's important to get this fixed.
Is creating a menu item for each language the only solution?
I hope a fix will come soon, this bug kills entirely the i18n menu translation feature.

One more comment:
Adding a menu item per language does not work in the case of pages (/path) provided by modules such as contact (/contact) or simplenews (newsletter/subscriptions). This may have to do with the fact that these pages have the same path for all languages, i.e. we don't have a node for these pages.

You would have to create an url alias for such paths. Afterwards you're able to create different menu items per language.
