Won't the entries be placed in menu files for *wm?

Could there be some way to have descriptions in different languages?
I guess the *NIX desktops KDE and GNOME support non-English languages,
too (never used them myself).

If the hierarchy of pkgsrc directories is supposed to make sense to the
pkgsrc user I would conclude it should also make sense in a menu
system. Will there be a way to override this default structure?

What are 'menu entries' here? I thought the entries were lines like
'MENU=...' in the package Makefile. Or does this refer to the location
where the menu files for the window managers (containing the
transformed menu entries of all installed packages) should live?
