Hi Team,
We are customizing Audacity application for our firm. Could you please let us know how can we hide "Check for updates" Menu item from the Application.
We tried creating .mo file with poedit tool but doesn't work. Could you please tell me detail steps to hide this option.
many thanks in advance.

Re: How to hide "Check for updates" Menu option
Unfortunately those instructions have not been updated for the new location where we store the translation files. I will update the instructions but they probably won't appear in the released Manual until the 2.1.3 release (the release after the upcoming 2.1.2 release).
To save time I have attached a ZIP file for you. Extract the en-simple folder to your "Languages" folder and restart Audacity. Then choose "Simplified" language in Interface Preferences. If a user chooses any other language in Interface Preferences, then "Check for Updates..." will reappear.
Note that translation files with hidden menu items crash the upcoming 2.1.2 release, at least on Windows, so don't use those files there. It should work properly in 2.1.1.

Re: How to hide "Check for updates" Menu option
Hi Gale,
Thanks for your response.
Still we can see Check for Update menu option in Audacity 2.1.1 application.
We have performed following steps,
1. Install application with "audacity-win-2.1.1.exe" installer
2. After finishing installation copied folder from en-simple_no_updates_menu_item t Lauguages directory.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity\Languages\en-simple\Audacity.mo
Could you please help us integrating this file with installed Audacity 2.1.1 applicaiton.
Let us know if you need more info from our side.

Re: How to hide "Check for updates" Menu option
Perhaps you still need to Edit > Preferences... , Interface section, and change language to "Simplified" (as I said).
The user will still be able to show "Check for Updates" by changing the Language back to English, unless you recompile the MO file with the Preferences hidden.
If you want to hide Check for Updates and allow access to Preferences then you need to remove Check for Updates in the Audacity source code, as I advised when you wrote to [email protected]
