I wonder if there is some canonical way of testing several

exactly convinced that swapping filenames for localized
string tables and NIB files should be the way to go...

An application will change its localization at startup so you can just go
ahead and change the language in System Preferences:International.
Next time you start your application it will use the new language setting.
This is certainly easier and faster than changing filenames of NIBs etc.

Even faster:

/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit -AppleLanguages "(fr)"

in Terminal will launch TextEdit in French. Most defaults can be overridden in this way by command-line arguments; in the case of AppleLanguages, keep in mind that the value is an array, so must be in parentheses. You could have more entries in the array, e.g. "(fr, de, en)" if you want something a bit more realistic.
