1. How do I get the version of the OS?
2. How do I most reliably ascertain the local language. I say that because
I've been using something like:
set lang to user locale of (system info)
This apparently works fine, or at least I thought so, returning things like
"en_us" or "de_de"; however, lately it's not tracking too well. Currently
I'm set up for German, and in fact all the menus etc. are appearing in
German, only my technique is still returning "en_us". This is the case on at
least two of my machines, so I'm thinking that there must be a better way.
Thinking that perhaps System Events just hadn't gotten the message somehow,
I killed it and restarted it, but that made no difference.
And in fact I have seen an alternative way somewhere, but I have so many
snippets of AppelScript in my mind, and I can't remember where I saw it, but
it basically used System Preferences to determine the language, and I'm
thinking this has to be better than system info.
Thanks in advance.
