Localization in tools

[Andreas Hoeschler]

Dear developers,

Is it correct that localization does not work in tools?	I have a 
loadable bundle with

         ./Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings
         ./Resources/German.lproj/Localizable.strings

Both files are unicode encloded and contain stuff like

"1" = "Please check the tax rates in vkContract %@!";
"2" = "No Loading Volume for %@!";
"3" = "Cancel";

When I set my sytem to German in System Preferences and execute the 
following code in an app, I get the german translation.

      NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle 
bundleWithPath:@"/SomeDir/Bundles/MyBundle.bundle"];
      NSLog(@"string %@", [bundle localizedStringForKey:@"3" 
value:@"Fehler" table:nil]);

When I do the same in a tool I get the english text of 
./Resources/English.lproj/Localizable.strings. Why? Shouldn't that work 
in tools as well? I experienced this behaviour on Mac OSX and on 
GNUstep.

Regards,

   Andreas
