Ah, a small note - copying English.lproj (or any other lproj available there) as lv.lproj (or any other unsupported language) in System Preferences.app sudo cp -r /Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj /Applications/System\ Preferences.app/Contents/Resources/lv.lproj enables opening Latvian localization correctly. Of course, this is a hack, that cannot be used for "deployment", but still can be used to debug and test system preference pane bundle written in X language while hoping that in the future Apple will enable support for all languages available in System Preferences : Language & Text : Language: Edit list... for System Preference.app Reinis
