Ludovic, I am not sure I understand exactly what you are saying, but I 
am indeed interested in translating my apps - indeed every string and 
menu name in my most recent app is set on startup in such a way that I 
could switch languages by altering just one set of parameters. Are you 
saying that for example, if I have in English a menu 'File' with an 
item 'Quit',  when working with a French system, OSX/RR IDE would 
expect me to change this to 'Fichier' with 'Quitter' to get the effect 
described by Richard? I had assumed so, and I do not foresee a problem 
here, but maybe I am wrong.
