Might it be that AppleLocale refers to the language chosen (thereby
becoming the "default language") when installing OS X and can only be
changed by reinstalling and selecting another language? If so, then
AppleLanguages has no relationship to the AppleLocale and only refers to
those used for menus, dialogs, websites, and text processing. In my
previous post, I too thought default language referred to the
AppleLanguages selection, but if the above is true, then I was mistaken.
