Again: the bits on disk for the underlying filesystem "truth" are in English. The view presented to the user is localized.

Presenting parts of the path to the user should be done using NSFileManager's -displayNameAtPath method, which already takes this into account.

I see a:
[ ] little
[ ] big
[ ] huge

issue here.

Some software are displaying the full file's path to show where a file will be stored. Let's say the Finder is doing this currently (badly since the OS X Finder believes the standard file separator is ':' on Mac OS X but that's another story).

The question is: how is it possible to get the localized version of the path since -displayNameAtPath only display the last component of the path?

Since I don't have access to the exotic animal release, there might be a new API to do this but it would require using another "which version of the AppKit am I using?" test.
