+If you want your app to run under MacOS X with internationlization as

+Since wxWidgets based applications don't use these directories
+for storing resource information (they store the translation in the

+langauges are supported. This is done by adding a CFBundleLocalizations
+entry to Info.plist. This can look like this:

+\begin{verbatim}
