It does work. I have just tested it. And that's really great.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks. Sorry for my stupidity. I was searching for "translations"
inside TeXWorks.app.

Yes, it does. Thanks. There's only one tiny problem left, I guess. The
binary that I have might be a bit older than translations. Before the
first release gets out, I would be grateful to be able to test the
translation on some recent Mac binary (maybe I should figure out how
to do that myself, but I would prefer to concentrate on other issues).
So if anyone could share a recent Mac binary with me or on google code
page, I would be grateful for that.

One question: if I choose German translation, buttons for "Cancel",
"OK", ... are all translated properly, while I get English buttons
under Slovenian translation instead. I understand that not the whole
program can be translated (File/Open calls the system dialog that is
simply not translated into Slovenian), but I don't understand why the
German translations of buttons all work OK.

One weird case. I'm not sure if it's repeatable or not. I have chosen
German translation, used "File/Open" and pressed "Cancel". Then I went
to preferences again, choose either Slovenian or English, and the list
of available file endings (under Enable:) was still in German.

Thanks a lot,

One tiny request: I have a problem translating the word "typeset" (as
already mentioned). "Typesetting" has a wonderful translation, but
"typeset" also means "bet" and most people would have problems
interpreting it, so I would prefer to translate the string under
typesetting icon as "run". But I figured out that the same translation
is used three times:
- under "typeset" icon: I would like to put "run" there
- in main menu: I would like to put "typesetting" there
  - as a subitem in that menu (Typeset apple-T): I would like to put "run" there
so I cannot just change a single one. If it was possible to decouple
them, I would be grateful for that.
