A few of the icons in the menus have english text on them (Like "ADDONS") which is not so nice when using a language that is not english.

So maybe better to remove such text from the icons so the icons works equally well in all languages.

There is also one with "kg". Maybe that dont work well for people that are using other units to measure weight.

In stk-code\data\gui\icons i see these icons with text on them:

There is also one with "kg". Maybe that dont work well for people that are using other units to measure weight.

kg is the international symbol for a measuring unit used officially by almost the entire world, and people in the few places not using it officially (mostly the USA) are still familiar enough with the symbol. I think that's just fine from a translation perspective, although there is no fundamental reason to have text at all depending on how clear the icon is.

The other given examples, however, indeed prevent full, clean, localization, even if they are unlikely to be disruptive, and are clearly less significant from this perspective than e. g. the news ticker.
