On a Mac there is no installation. The application is a complete set of files to be copied to the program folder. So, the best solution is to provide all available locale data (9MB) within the package. The UI language of LyX matches the language the user chooses. If an user likes it to work with English - no problem, you set it to English and LyX will start with an english UI. Any program will/should start with an english interface then. Stephan
