Setting language independently for each app

Before leopard we could set the language of each app independently (in the get info window) but now we are stuck with a system-wide setting. Is there any way to get the functionallity back? And I don't want to manage a separate user for each language, it just doesn't work for me.
thanks

Here's the long story:
I'm tring to have my finder and some apps in french but I want to use some other apps in english (Final Cut, Photoshop, a bunch of pro video apps for work). I use mainly FCP and the thing is that if I open it in french, for some obscure reason it assumes (erroneously) that I must be in France and that I have an azerty keyboard... so all the keyboard shortcuts are changed. It gets absolutely unusable, even undo is changed for something other than command-z. So I tried language switcher, with my system and finder set in french. I ran the list of my apps and decided, app by app, which one I wanted in french and which one I wanted in english. I saved those settings every time, because I felt it would be dumb to have to launch language switcher first each time I wanted to launch an app. Then I launched Final Cut Pro (7.0.3). At first it looked like all went well, it was in english, my system was in french. But when I checked trough the menus, I found that all the menu items were written in english but the keyboard shortcuts associated with them were the french ones! I tried to get it back to work normal by switching the system back to english and doing the reverse process with Language Switcher. Didn't work. I tried three or for other things that didn't work either (and I won't detail them all... sorry). So I reverted to my last time machine backup.
I assume the .lproj trick you mention is essentially what Language switcher is doing, so that wouldn't do me much good. I really miss the way we could do it before leopard...
anyways, thanks for answering!

  • Set height size for each state enabling browser scrollbar if needed..

    I'm working on a flex project, completely new to it. I'm trying to resize my application based on the set height size for each state. I'd like the wrapper to resize in the browser so that the  browser's scroll bar appears if needed. hope this makes sense....
    My enitial opening page I've set the height to 1000. now when I click on a link to another state from this page, we'll call it 'home' which i have set to 2000
    The page opens in its 2000 height but no scroll bar appears to scroll down in the browser...
    If anyone's done this or knows how to, I'd really appreciate your input.

    I've done something similar with a few of my apps, you have to use a little javascript on the html page and the ExternalInterface class in your app. Basically, you need to resize the "browser's" height based on your flash file.  So here's quick example:
    In your html template page (which you can edit in your flashbuilder project panel ->html-template->indext.template.html)
    in your html add the jscript function:
    <script type="text/javascript">
             function setWindowHeight(heightVal){
                 document.getElementById('theWindow').style.height=heightVal; // make sure to give the body tag an id of 'theWindow' or whatever
    </script>
    In your flashbuilder app you need to call the javascript fx, you can use the ExternalInterface class for this:
      ExternalInterface.call('setWindowHeight',val+'px');
    you need to send the jscript fx the height of your container or whatever you want it resized to....

  • Set a FocusTraversalPolicy for each of the JPanels

    I have a JInternalFrame that contains a JTabbedPanel that contains 1...n JPanels
    I want to set a FocusTraversalPolicy for each of the JPanels
    independently.
    Each JTabbedPanel has many JComponents.
    Please help ME

    I don't know much about JTabbedPanel but I imagine you can get each of the JPanels contained in it. So couldn't you just set FocusTraversalPolicy for each of them? I guess I really don't understand what the problem here is.

  • Mobileprovision files for each app?

    Do I need to creat new mobileprovision files for each app our company creates?

    Yes, you need to create mobileprovision files for each app. The mobileprovision files include information in the App ID that you set up in the Apple iOS Developer Portal. If your app includes push notifications, you also need push certificates (.p12) for each app. But you can use the same .p12 developer and distribution certificates for all your apps.
    Here's what my certificate folder structure looks like for my apps:
    dev.bringhurst.p12
    dist.bringhurst.p12
    <DPS Tips folder>
         dev_dpstips.mobileprovision
         dist_dpstips.mobileprovision
         push_dev_dpstips.p12
         push_prod_dpstips.p12
    <NW_Scenery folder>
         dev_nws.mobileprovision
         dist_nws.mobileprovision
         push_dev_nws.p12
         push_prod_nws.p12

    I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

    iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also.  Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
    The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

  • How to set command action for each item in the popupmenuimage

    Hi all,
    In my canvas application,i used images for popupmenu.Now i have to set command action for each item in that popupmenuimage.I dont know whether it is possible in canvas or not.Can anyone tell me the solution for this .
    Thanks,
    sourab

    Buttons is typical of a c/s application, or, in case of Web Forms, a Java applet. Instead of buttons, you have to use hyperlinks.
    See:
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/faq/faq_migration.htm#346
    The hyperlink wil have to be to a URL that does the insert in the table. This can be a mod_plsql procedure, for instance.

    Hello,
    you can set it in the module administration --> setup --> inventory --> item group --> tab accounting. But first you must define the name of item group. it is still in the same form.
    let me know if problem still persists. G'luck.

  • Why can't I get the text labels for each app to go away? I only see 9 app buttons now; used to see 30 or 40

    Text labels started showing up next to my app buttons going across toolbar. Because the names are fairly long (I don't need them per se); I can now only see about 10 buttons. I made sure the the box in the toolbar preferences menu which says "show text labels for each app." was unchecked. I even tried checking it, then unchecking it.
    I can't get the labels to go away. I used to be able to see and therefore USE EASILY about 30 -40 app buttons. I just downloaded the latest update to firefox 8.

  • Individual cell data buttons for each app keep turning on by themselves?

    I have a 4S iPhone, OS 7.0.6, and my problem is that the individual cell data buttons for each app keep turning on by themselves. I'll go in and turn them all off and the next time I look (whether in 5 min or 5 hrs) they are all turned back on again? I want to leave my cell data on so that I receive my iMessages but usually don't want everything else turned on until I get to a wifi zone. I used to be able to keep them all off until  I did  the last couple iOS updates. Help!

    Hey there Tylyssanna,
    It sounds like your cellular data options are not saving correctly. I recommend starting by turning off Cellular Data in Settings first. Then close all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone, turn it back on, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • Set spawn points for each sprite?

    heres my dilema
    i currently have 5 sprites and 5 different set co ordinates for each one to spawn into with individual behaviour scripts, however i want each sprite to spawn into one of the set co ordinate without more than one of them spawning into the same point.
    so eventually each sprite will spawn into a random set co ordinate
    so something like
    pRandomStartingLoc = (200,100) (300,100) (400,100) so each sprite spawns into only one set of cordinates without more than one spawning into the same one

    Okay fourth time may be the charm.
    This behavior contains a Single Locations list that is global to all sprites with this behavior attached. Each sprite picks a random loc from the list and then deletes that value from the list so that no other sprite can use it.
    Note: This uses some advanced Lingo, but you should only need to replace the point values in the list of point values.
    --  Random Set behavior
    property  pSp   -- this sprite
    property  pStartLoc  -- this sprites location at beginsprite
    -- global/static behavior property
    property  curLocs  -- list of sprite locations used by ALL sprites with this behavior attached
    on beginSprite me
      -- define our quasi global locations list if it is not defined or is empty
      if me.script.curLocs.voidP OR me.script.curLocs = [] then
        me.script.curLocs = [point(200,100), point(300,100), point(400,100), point(500,100), point(600,100)]  -- Define Sprite Locs Here
      end if
      Locs = me.script.curLocs
      pSp = Sprite(me.spriteNum)
      pSp.loc = Locs[random(Locs.count)]   -- set my location to random point from list
      Locs.deleteOne(pSp.loc)  -- remove this Loc from list so that no other sprite can use it.
      pStartLoc = pSp.loc  -- store current location in case you want to return to it
      -- debug code. Check message window
      put "Sprite " & me.spriteNum & " is at location " & pSp.loc
    end beginSprite
    on goToStartLoc me
      pSp.loc = pStartLoc
    end
    on endSprite me
      me.script.curLocs = void
    end
    on reset me
      me.endSprite()
      me.beginSprite()
    end
