What happens when a DoMenu commmand is given?

One of the buttons in the TidBITS stack has

doMenu "delete card"

in its script. This actually works, even though there is no
"delete card" command in any of the menus of the Danish version
of hypercard. So it seems that the English command works in all
versions. If I were to write a stack, and one of the scripts
included

doMenu "slet kort"

would this work on foreign HC versions?

What about the delete card filter that has been discussed
intensively recently? If the stack script includes a handler

on doMenu what
    if what = "delete card"
    ...
and I activate the "slet kort" command in the rediger menu,
what happens?
