While this whole subject is an interesting learning exercise, I tend
to agree with the others who have said that there really is no
realistic situation in which a user would actually need to change the
language for a single application like you're trying to enable.
You're fighting a few central behaviors of AppKit. Maybe you could
put your time into something else a little more promising?
Actually I've often wished that I could have only selected
applications in Spanish.
You can already. Just use Finder's "Get Info" panel to turn off the
language(s) you don't want.
Also, to be able to temporarily change the
localisation of an app in order to navigate it with my Spanish friends
and family more easily.
Again, you can already do this. You have to restart the application,
but that's a problem with Jeff's approach also; I'm not sure if
there's actually a way around this at present as it seems to be a
feature of the design of the frameworks themselves.
If there is a case for making this easier (and I'm willing to accept
that there may be), you should make it by filing bugs, so that Apple
can implement something *consistent* across all applications.
Otherwise, we'll end up with different applications making different
design decisions about this, and it'll be a mess.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
