Hi everybody,

I use a very old photo software called Snapseed v 1.2.1 on 2 MacBook, one runs with El Capitan and the second runs with Mojave. These app has no language selection during install, and no preferences language choice in menu when running.

When I execute app on El Capitan, all menus and topics are translate in French, but on Mojave no translation is done.

I looked Contents of app and found differents languages files (structured as xx.po where xx=country) located in Resources folder. I deduced translation was executed after getting language param. I checked values on both systems and there are same (LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8).

So I tried to change Info.plist file to force code langage to 'fr' in CFBundleLocalizations key. Result is same.

Does somebody has a idea of reason of issue and how to solve it ? Snapseed release was 2012, El Capitan 2015 and Mojave 2018, it seems framework used to code app runs differently and can't get language value.

Thank you for sharing the post. Could you please clarify whether Snapseed is the application you developed or a third-party app available for download from the App Store or the internet? If it is a third-party app, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with more information about it. If it is your application, I recommend that you provide the following:

Are you able to demonstrate the issue in a test project created from one of Xcode's templates, and using only Apple APIs?

You can find tips on creating and sharing a test project in Creating a Test Project.

If the application is a third-party application, I recommend contacting the third-party developer.

It was a third-party application developped by Nik Software. It was the lastest release on macOS in 2012. Many years after, Google bought editor, improve software and now you can only use it on IOS or Android platform. Thanks for your answer, I'll look about Nik Software and how to contact developers, there is a group of names in topic 'About Snapseed'.
