This is essentially adding a Tagging preset.

Make a new file equal to the presets.xml in source, but only with the 
entry(ies) you want to have. Now add this file to the tagging preset 
sources. It will appear in the menu. In toolbar preferences you can now 
add that to the toolbar.

Example file:

<annotations>
   <item name="Russian Name" icon="presets/addresses.png">
     <label text="Add a russian name" />
     <label text=" " />
     <text key="name:ru" text="Russian name" default="" delete_if_empty="true" />
   </item>
</annotations>

Note: name:ru and text:ru would be for russian text, but as you use it 
private that probably does not matter and you could enter that in name 
and text directly :-)

Note2: I did not add a group in the example, so it will appear in main 
menu, not in a sub menu.

If not working, please ask again. Either you do wrong or there is a bug :-)
