Additional information that is relevant:
The drop down on the license screen lists the following languages in this order:
English
Japanese
French
German
Spanish
Italian
Portuguese
Dutch
On initial view of the license screen, the proper license text is
displayed, but the popup is in the wrong language. The popup,
actually, is in the language BEFORE it in the list above. Changing
languages and then going back (i.e. French->Italian->French) produces
the license text in the previous language as well (Japanese in the
previous example).
It appears that selecting the "English" item always gives the license
text in the language of the original system. That is, if the system is
set to German, the first entry is German, though it says English.
To me, it looks as though the system default is pushed on the top of
the list, and the TEXT itself is not updated. So "French" gets pushed
on top of the list (where English is) and all the rest slide down.
Does anyone know how to work around this? Is there something I'm
missing? Remember, this is NOT created via the GUI, but with command
line args and a "Resources" directory.
Considering the resources directory has been around since 10.3, is it
possible something was missed in conversion relating to localization?
