Apple - Is it possible to launch a program in a specific language?
You can change the language inside the preferences file of the application :
defaults write com.apple.TextEdit AppleLanguages '("en-US")'
Or just run once one application with another language :
/Applications/iCal.app/Contents/MacOS/iCal -AppleLanguages '(de)'
To determine the bundle identifier, run
mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier /Applications/Mail.app
or directly in one command:
defaults write $(mdls -name kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier -raw /Applications/Mail.app) AppleLanguages '("en-UK")'
(via SuperUser)
There is a freeware, Language Switcher, to launch a single application with a different languages.
it's really simple and work amazingly.
