    Mac OS X:
    In order to change the language of a given application independently of the operating system language you need to edit its resources. Just go thru the following steps:

    1.- Select the application you want to change the language of.
    2.- Right-click your mouse or press the command key and click on the icon.
    3.- Select the 'Show Package Contents' menu.
    4.- Open the 'Contents' folder and then the 'Resources' folder.
    5.- Delete the resource folder corresponding to your system language. For example, if you are using English as your system language move the 'en.lproj' folder to the trash. (en=english, de=german, fr=french, es=spanish, it=italian, ...)
    6.-
    Rename the resource folder of the language you want to use to the name of the resource folder of the system default language. For example, if you want to set the application language to german rename the 'de.lproj' to 'en.lproj'.
    7.- Close all the package windows and launch the application.
