David Remahl meinte doch tatsdchlich:
No. The Apple menu items appear in the same language as the rest of
the menu bar.
Unless I misunderstand what is meant by Apple menu items this is not
so. I'm running the Danish localised version of Mac OS X and when I
run a non-localised application the Apple menus are still shown in
Danish. The Apple menus being e.g. the actual Apple menu on the
left of the menu bar and the 'Show in finder'/'Quit' menu items in
dock menus. These always show up in Danish regardless of the
localisation of the currently running application.
Well for me here in a German setup, if I start an English app the
dock-menu stays German, but the Apple menu becomes English too.
If you log out and back in again, the correct language will be used. I
am pretty sure that is because the Apple menu is managed by the
loginwindow process, which doesn't change language until a new login.
/ Rgds, David
wrong.
the apple menu's language is managed by the application, at least on a
german system. if i have an english-only application, i open the
package, duplicate the english.lproj, rename it to german.lproj -
voila, german apple menu.
logging out and back in won't help, because we *don't switch languages*.
this is one of the most annoying bugs in the system, because the apple
menu changes languages on-the-fly. i have heard a million excuses for
this ("menubar should stay consistent", etc.), but it's a bug, not a
feature. i wonder, though, why this would not happen on a danish
system...
