quit

[Thierry Arbellot]

Hi Yves,

I found another way to get French menus.
It's more simple and it isn't needed to do something every time the 
standalone is rebuild.
I tried it with Rev 2.0.1 on X 10.2.6

You have to modify the Rev app.
- select the Revolution app and show the package contents
- open Contents then Resources folder
- you should have 3 files inside : Revolution.icns, Revolution.rsrc and 
RevolutionDocs.icns
- create a folder named French.lproj
That's all.

Run Rev, now the Quit Revolution menu should be Quitter Revolution, and 
some system menus are in French.
Rebuild your standalone. It will inherit the French.lproj folder.

To give short explanation, at launch time, the app gets the preferred 
language from the international panel and tries to find a folder with 
the same name.
If the folder is missing, the app uses the language defined in the 
property CFBundleDevelopmentRegion

Regards.
