Yes, this is correct behavior.  Otherwise an application might use
content from multiple sources with multiple localizations--for example,
an English-only app might take half of its content from the Japanese
version of AppKit installed on the system.  For some applications that
might be acceptable, but in most cases it would not be desirable, and
some applications simply could not handle it.  You can simply add an
appropriate .lproj to your application, or for unbundled applications
use the CFBundleLocalizations key.
