Monolingual ReviewNeeds updating... - Version: 1.3.9, 5/18/2009 02:54PM PST

still will not seek and destroy many newer localizations-esp the 2 letter ones, ie: ar.lproj;
and then there are odd ones such as qx.lproj-not a country, im sure
The Binary cleaner still unsuccessfully, it seems, tries to clean several apps, including Adobe Lightroom, parts of iMovie and several others, but never seems able to.

Monolingual CommentaryNew Version Unstable - Version: 1.3.9, 6/27/2008 02:15PM PST

I've utilized Monolingual with caution for some time now and it has always performed flawlessly. it is important however, that one read the notes and fully understand the power of this tool. That said however, this newer version appears to be unstable with 10.3.9, despite the developer's claim to the contrary. Sometimes it launches, other times it crashes with a thud, at least for me. Otherwise, it's a very useful tool, though dangerous in the hands of those who blindly unleash it's power.

Monolingual CommentaryError on Launch and Remove Architectures Fails - Version: 1.3.8, 2/15/2008 12:00AM PST

In the past I would have been happy to recommend Monolingual but as of version 1.3.8 I cannot do so. An error message is written to the Console log on every launch and 'Remove Architectures' fails trapped in an apparently endless loop!

The following Console log entries are typical of what I am seeing:-

1. On Launch

2008-02-15 18:14:01.475 Monolingual[2147] *** Illegal NSTableView data source (<NSArrayController: 0x3513a0>[object class: NSMutableDictionary, number of selected objects: 0]). Must implement numberOfRowsInTableView: and tableView:objectValueForTableColumn:row:

2. On 'Remove Architectures'

Feb 15 18:27:28 Ian-Stuarts-iBook /Users/sysadmin/Applications/Monolingual.app/Contents/Resources/Helper: fork() failed

My system comprises a Dual USB iBook (G3) running Mac OS X 10.4.11, all security patches applied.
