The Help is not that important, most localization still don't have  
that translated.

I'm not so happy with iLocalize. A translator for BibDesk is using it,  
and it gives some annoying bugs.

The latest version of AppleGlot (v3.4) certainly works on Leopard.  
ADViewer doesn't, but the files can be edited with any text editor. I  
use Xcode myself.

Localization tools should be able to create Tiger compatible .nibs.  
Certainly Localization Suite and AppleGlot do. Skim must be Tiger  
compatible.

Because of the problems I'm still having with iLocalize, and because I  
don't know it, I would personally prefer if you would use either  
Localization Suite or AppleGlot. The advantage of Localization Suite  
is that you can import existing localizations, so you don't need to  
start from scratch. Another advantage of Localization Suite is that it  
separates the work for the developer and the translator. The interface  
for the translator is pretty intuitive.
