A possible solution could be to have each menu item you want in both
languages as a menu array (menus with different caption, same name and
different index) so you can switch from one to another by using the visible
property.

VERSION 5.00
Begin VB.Form Form1
   Caption         =   "Form1"
   ClientHeight    =   3195
   ClientLeft      =   165
   ClientTop       =   735
   ClientWidth     =   4680
   LinkTopic       =   "Form1"
   ScaleHeight     =   3195
   ScaleWidth      =   4680
   StartUpPosition =   3  'Windows Default
   Begin VB.CommandButton Command2
      Caption         =   "Malay"
      Height          =   375
      Left            =   2250
      TabIndex        =   1
      Top             =   750
      Width           =   1095
   End
   Begin VB.CommandButton Command1
      Caption         =   "English"
      Height          =   375
      Left            =   960
      TabIndex        =   0
      Top             =   750
      Width           =   1065
   End
   Begin VB.Menu mnuPrint
      Caption         =   "&Print"
      Index           =   0
   End
   Begin VB.Menu mnuPrint
      Caption         =   "&Cetak"
      Index           =   1
      Visible         =   0   'False
   End
End
Attribute VB_Name = "Form1"
Attribute VB_GlobalNameSpace = False
Attribute VB_Creatable = False
Attribute VB_PredeclaredId = True
Attribute VB_Exposed = False
Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   mnuPrint(0).Visible = True
   mnuPrint(1).Visible = False
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
   mnuPrint(1).Visible = True
   mnuPrint(0).Visible = False
End Sub

Private Sub mnuPrint_Click(Index As Integer)
   Select Case Index
      Case 0
         MsgBox "Now menu is in English"
      Case 1
         MsgBox "Now menu is in Malay"
   End Select
   MsgBox "But still can execute the same code"
End Sub
