Nifty. That seems useful. I suppose you can override any user preference for
any application like that?
In my application I've decided to not include the language changing option
for the interface, as I've learned that Mac OS supports this already through
the get info field in finder as well as application arguments, and I have no
intent of duplicating system behavior. I'll note these things in the
languages read me since I'm sure many people don't know.
I'm happy that Mac OS supports per Applicaiton languages, as I'm sure Juan
and Francis are as well. As I said earlier, I'd like to see them take "live"
one step further at some point with the Cocoa API by allowing real time
changes - simply by checking for changes to AppleLanguages as well as any
other preferences by the application or the user and updating related caches
then. Then the Applications may update content if they want/can (and text
edit and finder ought to update content when a user changes their language).
There's a little more to it than that I'm sure, but hopefully that
discussion will take place within Apple someday.
Thanks everyone,
