I'm planning to make it complete myself, doing for example things
like
this :
insert a 'Breton.lproj' file in
/System/Library/CoreServices/Folder.app
(by creating the lproj file in an ordinary location first and then do
a "sudo cp").
My question are :
1) Is that risky and irresponsible ? Will my computer blow up ?
Anything is possible, of course, but I wouldn't be *too* worried
about breaking things. After all, you're adding new files, not
changing existing ones. The worst thing I would expect to happen is
that your additions might be ignored.
On the other hand, have you considered what might happen with the
next OS update? Your changes might well be overwritten when the apps
you've localized get updated. So, instead of running your changes by
hand, it might be wise to put them in a script that you can run after
each system update.
2) Any hints at other (and better) ways of solving this problem
of "completing localization in native applications"would be
appreciated.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to file an enhancement request with Apple:
