# Summary

Menu Token module provides tokens, that could be used in title or in path of menu items (links). For example, if you create a menu item with path: "user/[current-user:uid]", the url will be changed "on fly" to: "user/1" (assuming you are user 1).

Tokens are provided by Token module. Menu Token allows to use both global tokens and entity ones: node, user, term, etc. Entity tokens have several methods of substitution: from context, random and user defined.

If the site is Multilingual, config have to be translated in order for menu_token to work!

Doesn't look like this is being migrated. Just downloaded the `8.x-1.x-dev` source and everything is empty except the .info file from D7.

Status: Needs review » Needs work

Sofar only a dev release available on d.o, hence Status is Needs work. See this project for information on the meaning of Status.
Needs review would be correct when an alpha or beta is tagged, looks like it might even be tagged as an RC (Status:RTBC) or Stable (Status:Fixed).

@peter.draucbaher Very confusing to state it is of alpha quality and expected to be released Stable today. Normally, the Status and info here is consistent with the project code. At this moment there is only a development release available. Suggest to tag your code as alpha or stable and adjust Status here accordingly.

The uid for menu token is not changing maybe because of cache.
