- What bearing does the 'international' stuff in System Prefs have on this? As I read it, any localisations not checked in the list should be ignored while searching for resources, and yet when I unchecked (and removed from the list) 'English', then fired up my non-localised[4] Omniweb, it came up in English anyway.

We make an effort to select some localization if at all possible. If none of the application's available localizations are on the user's preference list, we will fall back to the development localization. If the development localization is not present, then the application is probably damaged, but we still try to fall back to some localization that is present; English as a first guess, otherwise any localization the app has.

I was actually expecting it to eat flaming death[5].

We prefer not to do that.
