This shouldn't be necessary.
You have two different types of language:

1) The interface language
 You change this within the preferences.
 Like every other Mac application you reach it with Command+,
 There it's in Language Settings.

2) The document language
 This is the language for text formatting and spell checking.
 A document doesn't have to be written mono-lingual. You may
 assign parts of it a different language. The language passed
 to the spell checker corresponds to the text language.
 To make a language the default document language create an
 empty document, change the document language to your favorite
 one and save this as document defaults.

The LyX application for Mac comes with all languages we have
dictionaries and translations for.
