I am not quite sure that you are correct. 1. I tried some of my own apps and they (if not having en_GB) just use en. Never use de. 2. I found "Internationalization Programming Topics" → "Language and Locale Designations" → "Language-Specific Project Directories" which says: "In Mac OS X, the bundle routines look for the requested resource in any region-specific directories first, followed by more generalized language directories." I guess this means: Mac OS X looks for en_GB first, then, if not finding it, looks for en, then for my other language preferences (like de). Which is what my own apps do. And what NSFont does not.
