You can set languages per application
Authored by: piers on Sep 14, '02 02:51:08PM

It is no problem to set language preferences on a per application basis. Use the defaults command line tool like this:

defaults write de.ilink.direct AppleLanguages "(en, de)"

de.ilink.direct is the defaults domain of the application (com.omnigroup.OmniWeb in your case), and "(en, de)" is an array of language codes, in order of preference. Once you've set this for a specific application, this application uses these settings and ignores the global language settings.

So you should keep both Gaeilge and Irish English out of your global language preferences (as set using System Preferences) and add them specifically to OmniWeb, using the defaults command.

If you do not know the language codes of Gaeilge and Irish English, you can find out by first adding those languages to your settings in System Preferences and then using the following command in Terminal:

defaults read 'Apple Global Domain' AppleLanguages
