local language? Thx.

I'm sorry you cannot.

I think "Plus!" must not be translated in any way.

•The name of the software is “Messenger Plus!”. This must not be translated and must stay “Messenger Plus!”.
•The “Plus!” menu shown in the contact list and the chat windows can’t be translated and will be displayed as “Plus!” for every language. This is due to security reasons. However, the content of the menu can be translated and is listed in different sections of the language file.
Translators can confirm that.

No, sorry. For security purposes, you cannot change the name of the menu.

and how would you call it in your language or why? Do you change the name "Windows" or "MSN Messenger" too? ^o)

It's not only for security purposes, it's also a trademark name and you just can't change these names. That's prohibited by law.

I think "Plus!" in the menu bar is just a caption, not the trademark,

the trademark should be "Messenger Plus!",it is just like "File",

"Tool","Help" and other popup captions.

What would you translate it to, then? And it would still be a security issue.
