Opening FileWave Central (Admin) in a Specific Language (macOS)

What

FileWave Admin will automatically use the language, if supported, set on the workstation at installation (default English).  It is however possible to run FileWave Admin in a different language, as shown below, through an Apple Shortcut Menu Bar item.

When/Why

FileWave Central (Admin) doesn’t currently have the option to change Language preference in the application itself.  Only some languages are supported with this method.

How

The following command may be used to both open and specify a chosen language at runtime.
