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"
In a terminal in X11, I get this for my default (English) setup
.UTF8
When I set some other language in that control panel, it shows up. For Spanish I get
es_ES.UTF-8
Oh no!!!!
It looks like something got unblocked on my system. Hmmm.... tricky. Might be a profile-specific thing... and if it truly is one of those that gets unblocked and says unblocked, then someone can only ever test it once but all newbies may see it.
