Is it possible to set the language per application? At the moment I'm using Japanese versions of Illustrator and Photoshop. If I launch these apps in an English OSX environment, the menus are just question marks (literally), so I've set OSX to Japanese so the menus and tabs render properly.

But once OSX is set to japanese, all non-English localized apps automatically launch in Japanese too - this means Finder, Mail, Help, iTunes... and it slows me down when it comes to menu navigation across all the apps. I can get by, but it's a pain.

What I want is to set Japanese localized apps to launch in Japanese, but leave the other apps in English. Possible?

Try turning the OS to English, and then unchecking all languages but Japanese in the Get Info for each app in question. Or you could set the OS to Japanese and then uncheck all but English for every other app. Seems like less work the first way.
