As long as you just pass the -AppleLanguages option as an argument

To see the effect, go to Terminal and enter the following
If you enter it literally, you'll see that TextEdit starts with
everything in Korean, even the Apple menu.
Amazing ! Even if - for me - the localization affects only but the
Apple menu (not the Menus bar), which becomes Korean enough when
TextEdit is the active window, and immediately back to English Apple
Menu when I click another - say Terminal - window.
In italian, it's as complete as korean - not more ( TextEdit Menus
bar has not changed to italian ).
When I do the same with 'fr', the localization is more completely
achieved ( TextEdit Menus bar has changed to french, and some
TextEdit strings are translated ).
Is it because being french, I happened to have chosen 'french' as the
preferred language in 'International' prefs, so that "it" knows now
more about ( I keep 'English' as preferred language when working with
computers ) ? Or ... :)
Anyway, this is useful to me and I expect the same for others.
Astonishing as this little subject raises so many questions.
Merci beaucoup,
Francis
