PB4.30 x86 - MacOS X-Defaults
Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2009 12:30 am
Dear board,
if you want to read or write default-values from the Mac OS X-core, try this (if you're on X86, and Leopard 10.5.6 it should work, but no guarantee, no refund for data loss):
This will give back the Languages you set inside the Configuration dialogue and afterwards the current Locale in international
form, for example "de-DE" or "en-GB".
Maybe this information helps you to get the default language of Mac OS X to set the right language inside your applications
Good luck in localising...
