OK, so I finally managed to solve this and for anybody who
needs to localise their application names, I have put up a
HOWTO on the web.

Here is the URL ...

http://www.sunrise-tel.com/HOWTOs/Xcode/Localisation/ LocalisingBundleName.html

In a nutshell (and for the archives) here is a summary ...

1) In the target inspector edit your general Info.plist

enter two properties, CFBundleDisplayName (set to the same
value as CFBundleExecutable) and LSHasLocalisedDisplayName
(boolean, set to Yes).

The key is actually LSHasLocalizedDisplayName (with the American Z rather than the British S) and the value should be YES

2) Edit the localised Info.plist files

Set CFBundleName to the translated name and enter a new
property CFBundleDisplayName (set to the same value as
CFBundleName).

3) Verify the results

If the current locale is the localised language, the
Finder should have changed the display name to the
localised name. In any other case, the name should be
displayed as the filename of the bundle.
