As long as you just pass the -AppleLanguages option as an argument
of the main kiosk program, it will work fine and will only affect
the application you started. We do something just like that for a
language selector we wrote for use on bootable CDs.
To see the effect, go to Terminal and enter the following
/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit -
AppleLanguages '<array><string>ko</string></array>'
If you enter it literally, you'll see that TextEdit starts with
everything in Korean, even the Apple menu.
Amazing ! Even if - for me - the localization affects only but the
Apple menu (not the Menus bar), which becomes Korean enough when
TextEdit is the active window, and immediately back to English Apple
Menu when I click another - say Terminal - window.
In italian, it's as complete as korean - not more ( TextEdit Menus
bar has not changed to italian ).
When I do the same with 'fr', the localization is more completely
achieved ( TextEdit Menus bar has changed to french, and some
TextEdit strings are translated ).
Is it because being french, I happened to have chosen 'french' as the
preferred language in 'International' prefs, so that "it" knows now
more about ( I keep 'English' as preferred language when working with
computers ) ? Or ... :)
Anyway, this is useful to me and I expect the same for others.
Astonishing as this little subject raises so many questions.
Merci beaucoup,
Francis
