In my case and I think for many of us that live in a non English country, I prefer to install all my applications in English or multilanguage, because I found the Spanish localization is made it for people of Spain, and their translation of many technical terms is a little bit annoying and sometimes ridiculous, not to mention the manuals and documentation, in Mexico the tendency is to use the English technical words in it’s original language.
But sometimes we need to work with somebody that don’t speak English so we need the ability of enable disable this feature, and of course if is possible to do that using AppleScript would be nice
Here is the script which I use for iWork's components.
It would be easy to edit it for other apps and languages.
--[SCRIPT choose iWork's language]
(*
Save this script as an application bundle.
Store it in the Applications folder
You may install it in the Dock
If you run it, it will ask which app it must open
then which language must be used.
It will move two resources folders accordingly then will run the program in the wanted language.
As is, it assumes that the program is not already open in an other language.
