The standard way to localize an app is based on the user's preferred language.
(on mac os x, the preferred language order of priority/availability )
Above and beyond that, you might have some case where your app has a reason to enable setting the preferred language at the app preferences level, or some UI elements that need to change live.
All doable.
Depends on your needs.
