Specific language for a specific app ?

Hi all,
I've been a mac user for a few decades, but I now come across a specific need for the first time.
Is there an easy way to make it so that a specific App (Logic Pro X as a matter of fact) opens up in a specific language (English) while the preferred language in System Prefs is different (French) so that all other apps open in French by default?
I know of a way to have LPX opening in English by changing the preferred language to English in the Systems Prefs, but I have to (remember to) manually change this setting in the System Prefs every time before I open it, and change it back every time after closing it to keep using the rest of my Mac in French.
What I'm looking for is a specifi feature (or Utility) that would enable me to specify that LP X must use English language (countrary to all other apps) once and for all, without having to suffer this manual hassle every time. Preferably, I'd rather not "delete" all other languages but English from the LP X package (just in case I would need to use it in French at some point in the future ; I know, I ask for a lot here).
Any idea how to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance!

Tom, kudos to you, this indeed solved it!
Contrary to my post above, on second thought I went to the Terminal solution first, so as to directly amend default settings, by fear that if I swapped the lproj folder names in the app package this might cause funny little things later on if I update the app to a new version with new functionalities, extra menus, whatever (with consequent additions to these folders; I'm not really sure how an app is updated from v.10.0.9 to v 10.1 for instance...).
It did it marvelously. The thing to know, for newbies to these things like myself, in case one would read this later on :
If the app name includes spaces - such as Logic Pro X - make sure to include \ before each of them -  such as Logic\ Pro\ X otherwise the command line won't work.
Real command line example would therefore be:
defaults write -app Logic\ Pro\ X AppleLanguages -array en
Safest is to drag & drop the app icon to an empty Terminal window first, which will display the full app path including its exact name Terminal-wise (including a .app extension which must not be included in the app name as per the command line above).
This helped my, I hope it will help others as well.
Regards

  • Can Firefox associate a specific language to a specific tab?

    I often research or write in multiple languages. I like to open different tabs for my work in each language and select the necessary language for that tab.
    Firefox does not seem to associate a selected language to a specific tab, only maintaining the current language selection for all tabs.
    Am I overlooking how to select a language using Windows on a certain tab and have Firefox remember the selection for that tab as long as the tab remains open?
    This is existing functionality in IE that eliminates having to change language settings when I need to type a different language.
    Thanks.

    The problem I am having is that this website will not load on my MacBook Pro.  I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that the website was created on this computer using iWeb and then I had to change to a different webhost on July 1st (Dreamhost) when Apple discontinued Mobile Me / Webhosting as of July 1st.  That is when I was no longer able to load the site on this one computer.
    I get this message with Safari:
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.challengefitnesscrossfit.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.
    and this message from Firefox:
    The connection has timed out

  • Customer specific language for SRM screens

    Hello All,
    I want to know how SRM will support non-standard language.
    Our client wants all buttons and links in THAI for bidding templates.

    got one link from Masa's post :

    But can anyone put more light in detail how to fulfill this requirement?

    In principle, any Unicode language can be supported with SAP applications.
    I think the challenge & time taking task could be 'Translation' itself.
    One more link that can throw somemore light..

    Few months back, had started thinking about this for enabling 'Hindi'. THought we did not do anything, one thing that helped me was -- readings on Unicode support in SAP.

  • How do I specify supported languages for an Android app?

    I have uploaded my APK created with AIR to the Android Developers console and it looks like the list of supported languages is the default one (15 languages), see image:
    http://imgur.com/67MxVKI
    My app actually only supports 9 languages, how can I specify only the 9 languages that my app supports?ffi
    Are there any specific tags I need to add in the Android manifest additions in the application descriptor?
    Any pointer in the right direction will be appreciated, thanks.

    Starting with AIR 3.8 Adobe added the supportedLanguages tag for the app xml descriptor that would filter the default all languages:
    <!-- Languages supported by application. Only these languages can be specified -->
    <!--<supportedLanguages>en de cs es fr it ja ko nl pl pt ru sv tr zh</supportedLanguages>-->
    <supportedLanguages>en</supportedLanguages>
    This definitely works on iOS by filtering the localizations that get bundled into the .ipa so Apple doesn't automatically list all languages Adobe localizes in the captive runtime. I would expect this to have a similar effect on Android if you don't already have this explicitly added in your application descriptor.

  • Is an iphone (5 in specific) made for a specific carrier?

    My mom deactivated her iphone 5 and gave it to me. It was Verizon. I use t-mobile so I go to the T-mobile shop and buy a smaller SIM for it. The employees said I couldn't because of the carrier type.they stated it wouldn't work. I don't know if that's true. any help?

    Malcolm is correct. A Verizon iPhone 5 is, per an agreement with the FCC, completely unlocked and will work on TMobile and AT&T, though not necessarily on LTE. It will not, however, work on Sprint.

  • How to apply a specific music for each photo slideshow

    I'd like to setup a specific music for a specific photo slideshow, and to store that preferences, in some way, so that, on selecting a slideshow, automagically startup the specific song.
    Is it possible ?
    Seems not ... yet.

    You can do that by preparing the slideshow in iphoto instead of on the tv, you then have to ensure you sync the slideshow and the tunes you have used in the slideshow before playing it on the tv.

  • Putaway Block in Storage Bin for any specific Material Code

    Hi Experts,
    We have a problem, we have allowed mix storage, addition to stock in the storage type, our requirement is this, that we want to block one bin aa-01-01 for some specific material code xxxxx, but we want to allow putaway other material codes to that bin.
    How can we achieve this. Can we use LS07 or some other solution. Please suggest at the earliest.
    Regards
    Ishu

    Hi,
    In standard system, you can block one specific bin for the specific material with Putaway strategy "Fixed bin" by maintaining this bin in material master. It is unclear that you set "allowed mix storage" and again required material specific putaway in bin.
    You can change "Mixed storage" indicator to blank. Which explains "___"  Mixed storage is not allowed
           All storage units in a storage bin must contain the same material and batch (one quant).
    If you don't want to change any of current setting you'll need to use the user exit and maintain custom table where you can maintain specific bin for the material for the warehouse. After determination of the bin to putaway in the standard code you can check if it is conflicting to the entry in your custom table.
    Hope this'll help.

  • Implementation-specific documentation for the Sun/Oracle Java SE ?

    Hi,
    Some places in the Java SE API specification call for platform-specific documentation. For example, the specification of the method await of class java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition says:
    "Implementation Considerations
    The current thread is assumed to hold the lock associated with this Condition when this method is called. It is up to the implementation to determine if this is the case and if not, how to respond. Typically, an exception will be thrown (such as IllegalMonitorStateException) and the implementation must document that fact. "
    So, implementation-specific documentation is expected to exist in addition to the API specification documentation. Sure, sentences beginning with "Typically..." suggest that that is what the Sun/Oracle reference implementation does, so the behavior of Sun/Oracle implementation can be guessed in many cases... yet sometimes troubling uncertainty remains.
    If implementation-specific documentation for the implementation exists, please let me know.
    I apologize if I chose an inappropriate forum for this question, but there seems to be no forum for discussing documentation arrangements.

    If you want to look at the implementation sepcific documentation, the best place to look is the source.
    The reason the docuementation is written generically is because they want you to write portable code, rather than rely on the specific implementation detail of the one you are using.
    Even if you don't intend to use another vendor, you might want to upgrade in the future and Java 7 or 8 many change its implementations provided it meets the specification.

  • Force language for one specifc business package only

    Dear collegues,
    we have the requirement to force the language for one specific business package only. Other business packages should remain with multiple languages. So therefore I cannot force the language by user. I can force the language by i-view but that doesn't change the top level navigation. I cannot force it by workset or role.
    Any clue wether this is possible and how it could be done?
    Best regards

    Hi,
    I would say that manual actions is the only way to do it...
    What I would do is:
    1. Multiple Property replacement (Portal funtionality) on all object in the BP structure
    2. Manual set the language on the remaining objects
    if that not works then as last resort you could...
    3. remove all languages that you do not want to use via, the PCDinspector
    Please not that its not best practice to change parameters on the main objects of a BP as updating the BP can result in overwriting your custom set proerties. It's alwayt better to make Deltalink copies first.
    SAP propagates the "content mirroring" functionality for it but I'm not a personal fan of it as it sets the inheritance of nested object not the way you would expect.
    Good luck!

    You cannot install a specific language for the predictive text as it is pre-programmed according to your region.
    This is part of the software that is installed on your device and even with an update it will only ever have those two languages unfortunately.

    I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?

    As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
    Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).
