I response my question, change the code 

CMenu* pMenu = CMenu::FromHandle(hMenu);

to 

CMenu* pMenu = GetMenu();

It will work! thanks a lot!

Following is some code to TRACE and modify the popup-menu strings (hMenu is the handle to the main menu); if your application uses the "new style" menu bar CMFCMenuBar, you will need to call m_wndMenuBar.GetHMenu() and m_wndMenuBar.CreateFromMenu(hMenu, TRUE, TRUE); before and afterwards respectively:

CMenu* pMenu = CMenu::FromHandle(hMenu);
int i, nCou = pMenu->GetMenuItemCount();
UINT uID;
CString ss;
for (i = 0; i < nCou; i++)
{   uID = pMenu->GetMenuItemID(i);
    if (uID == 0) // separator
    {   TRACE(_T("----------------------\n"));
        continue;
    }
    pMenu->GetMenuString(i, ss, MF_BYPOSITION);
    if (uID == (UINT)-1)
    {   TRACE(_T("Popup '%s' "), ss);
        ss += _T("-Modified");
        pMenu->ModifyMenu(i, MF_BYPOSITION, 0, ss);
        TRACE(_T("modified to '%s' "), ss);
    }
    else
        TRACE(_T("Item  '%s', ID=%d "), ss, uID);
    TRACE(_T("\n"));
}

It's tricky.

What I have done is to have an enumeration that matches the top-level elements of the menubar and then reference them by position.

Then instead of using MF_BYCOMMAND to update them you must use MF_BYPOSITION.

Try to use 'setlocale'.

For example:
setlocale( LC_ALL, "Traditional Chinese" );
setlocale( LC_ALL, "Simplified Chinese" );
..
