Actually, that's a good point!

Publican has only recently gained the ability to display the translated 
titles of documents in the menu rather than the English titles (only 
after I had already built the site!) Changing the titles the "proper" 
way involves uninstalling and reinstalling each document (around 300 of 
them...) so I'm investigating how I can fix this without having to do 
that :)

OK -- I'll get this done today. Thanks for the feedback :)
