BLI_getbundle() in source/blender/blenlib/intern/util.c already does this 
(except that it uses kCFStringEncodingASCII instead of 
CFStringGetSystemEncoding()).
Right now blender looks for language files etc. in $HOME/.blender/ and the 
Resources folder of the application bundle, which seems to be the expected 
behaviour.
Or am I missing something?
