Run any application with a language other than the system language.

I hardly digest localized software. There are many reasons: the desire to expand the vocabulary in a natural way, and the curvature of amateur translations of inexpensive software, and the banal blunder of programmers who did not know that life outside the US also exists outside the MKAD and does not make a stock in the amount of text variables. Although sometimes it is a problem not so much programmers as languages. For example, in the Russification of fresh Ipod Nano, the full Russian names do not fit onto a small screen, I had to reduce them. The same applies to the various menus on the desktop - you can’t overclock it in Russian, it’s not suitable for short, capacious expressions.

However, I was faced with a case where without Russian localization, the application simply does not do its job. Imagine that only localized iTunes correctly reads and converts non-unicode ID3 tags. I then painfully tried to force myself to sit under a localized system, then temporarily switched it to Russian in order to import the next pack of mp3-shek, but this was wildly inconvenient. I wanted a way to easily and naturally run your favorite programs in the language you need. And the way was found!

The Language Switcher program allows you to run any application under any supported language. Moreover, the chosen language is fixed so nontrivially that I abandoned the program for a month and only recently realized how it is done:


I suppose that the method is also interesting for those who are sitting on Russian localization, but want to run separate programs under English. As well as those who study languages ​​other than Russian and English, and want to begin to gradually dive into the studied environment.

PS And yes, I understand that there are still surgical ways to launch applications in the language you need.
