The official Inkscape.app releases already obey the OS X language settings---they look up the system language and then use Inkscape's standard localisation mechanism by setting the LANG variable.
Well, it has not been working for me here on OS X 10.4 It always comes up as English. Then I added the empty folders and I started getting it to come up in different languages.
Oh, right. In that case I will take a look at what is going on there tomorrow, when I have access to a 10.4 machine.
So, Inkscape-0.46-3-TIGER-UNIVERSAL.dmg on my 10.4 machine obeys the language settings from the OS X System Preferences. Not sure why this won't work for you. Jon, could you please run the following command (used by Inkscape on OS X to set the LANG variable) and report the results for the languages you are trying:
export LANG="`grep "`defaults read .GlobalPreferences AppleCollationOrder \ 2>&1`_" /usr/share/locale/locale.alias | tail -n1 | sed 's/./ /' | \ awk '{print $2}'`.UTF-8" echo $LANG
If you have your language set to spanish you should get LANG="es_ES.UTF-8", or LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" for french, etc. Could you also show the results of just running "defaults read .GlobalPreferences AppleCollationOrder"
It has always worked for me too, on 10.4 and 10.5. There were similar bug reports, for French particularly, on a french forum, but I ended up marking them as invalid since they worked for me and no one answered my request for details on those.
Hope you can track the problem better this time.
