yes, I know. 
I meant that my builds don’t support setting the locale within GIMP. And, I 
disabled the code intentionally.

I don’t see a need for this. Two UI elements to set the application 
localization are IMO more confusing than useful and don’t confirm to the OS X 
guidelines (ok, ok, I know, GIMP is just a port not an OS X application, and 
there should be as few as possible platform dependent code).
Nevertheless, IMO native Mac applications should respect the user’s settings in 
System Preferences, and if you’re really such an advanced user who want’s to 
run GIMP in a different locale than your system locale, you can still do this, 
as Michael said, in ‚the Linux way‘ via Terminal by typing

LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 open -a GIMP

And, if I understand Sven correctly, you’ll get a mixture of languages in the 
App menu, if the system preferred language differs from GIMP’s language 
selector. So it’s still a hack.
BTW, this is just the same as if you use the above command line. You’ll get the 
same mixture of languages. 

Ok, you have an UI element for this whereas I use the command line… ;-) (SCNR)
