FM7 English over MacOSX French

[mse]

Just got my Filemaker 7 Developer (multilingual) that automatically installed French version over MacOSX 10.3 (French). How can I have it English without changing OS localization ?

Many thanks in advance

If you're comfortable editing a pList, it looks like this might be controlled by the CFBundleDevelopmentRegion key in the Info.plist file inside the application bundle.

If you don't know what I mean then please ignore this suggestion...

Well, what should I edit in it ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>AppleNavServices:GetFile:0:Path</key>

<string>file://localhost/Applications/FileMaker%20Developer%207/English%20Extras/Templates/Business%20-%20Projects/</string>

If you double-click on a pList in MacOSX, it will open with the built-in "Property List Editor".

Go to the app and control-click on it and select "Show Package Contents" from the popup menu, the Info.pList file you should change will be in that directory, along with a "Resources" folder and some other crud it might be wise not to mess with.

Double-click on Info.pList and change the CFBundleDevelopmentRegion to be "English" - you might want to double-check you have an "English.lproj" directory in the Resources directory (inside the package) before doing this - those directories are probably what you're choosing from.
