When you press the menu button on your phone while you are in your appinventor app, you get a menu. How do i change it? i have been googleing it but did not find any thing on MIT AppInventor 2. I have seen how you can do it with the other versions but not with MIT AppInventor 2. 

Is it even possible to change the "about this application" menu choice?
(sorry for my english)

I appreciate all the answers.

you can't change the menu in MIT App Inventor
to change the text in the About screen, just add your text to the Screen.About property

AboutScreen
Information about the screen. It appears when "About this Application" is selected from the system menu. Use it to tell users about your app. In multiple screen apps, each screen has its own AboutScreen info.

Messages appear in English and I see no utility in a menu that can not be changed.

But I think it is impossible to delete it, unless the source code is modified.
