well ...
we’re talking about two use cases: 

a) a user wants to use GIMP in some other language than OS X itself. 
b) a user wants to use GIMP in some language, that neither OS X supports, nor any other native (not from Linux ported) OS X application

In both cases, the App menu shows mixed languages: the primary one from System Preferences and the user selected one

well… I’m still not convinced.
Why? Every supported OS X language is automatically detected, if there’s a localization in GIMP. The current implementation mixes languages. And I find it confusing to offer an application specific way to set localization because it’s one of the main concepts of OS X to have these settings in one central place, namely System Preferences, and that this system wide setting should be respected by all applications. And finally, the comandline still allows switching langugage in both builds, yours and mine: ‚LANG=your_locale open -a Gimp'

Anyway, I’m thinking about it …

> P.S. Simone, are there are any other changes like this, ones that greatly alter how your build works compared to a non-modified one?

Well, that depends on what you mean by „greatly alters“. If it’s something like: it works, whereas the non-modified doesn’t, there are a few (very platform specific ones, indeed) and of course, there’s one right-out-of-hell-patch regarding the save/export behavior.

Here they are: working dock menus, standard OS X shortcuts for Hide, Hide others, Quit, Fullscreen, Print, Scanner support via Image capture, open location, locally installed help, preserving EXIF/IPTC when saving JPEG / TIFF, opening EPS,  and some minor tweaks (as completely got rid of Carbon in all libraries, using system provided Python, Gatekeeper code signing, QuickLook for xcf, and a lot of plugins, a typical Mac user can’t compile itself)

Regards
Simone
