X11.app, warns the user about fontconfig delays on the initial launch,  

etc) is not localised.  It only uses half a dozen strings, so it would  

probably be fairly easy localised, but this has escaped attention  

until now, since it would require using the OS X localisation mechanism.


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.
