if you set your LC_CTYPE/LANG correctly
to a chinese one, say zh_CN.UTF8.
It will be automatically loaded *before* system init
And it's not necessary to set these two environment variables system-
wide, which might effect also other applications. On the command line
it's possible to type cautiously:
env LANG=... LC_CTYPE=... <some command> [&]
(``[&]´´ stands for optional parameter, i.e., when you end your
command with ``&´´ the programme will be sent into the background and
the shell will be open for new input, but it's no must, and you can
correct this later when needed)
If this seems to be too complicated you can also use a shell script.
In Mac OS X, to launch an application bundle, you could either:
#!/bin/bash
export LANG=... LC_CTYPE=...
open /Applications/<name of application>.app
or
#!/bin/bash
env LANG=... LC_CTYPE=... open /Applications/<name of application>.app
The latter, i.e., the last line, can also be used on the command line
and you could also use it in AppleScript to launch a Carbon or a
Cocoa Emacs from a menu.
