Copy an app's localized title and text of menu items I'm learning Chinese, and I'd like to switch my system interface to Chinese to increase my familiarity with the language. However, since Chinese characters are not phonetic or alphabetic, it can be hard to even type or draw characters I read into a dictionary to look them up. I'd therefore like to find a way to copy text from the interface, such as app names, menu item names, etc. I know that strings files are found in the Foo.app/Contents/Resources/zh_CN.lproj/*.strings files. However, I can't figure out how to translate these files into a table mapping English strings to their localized equivalents for Chinese, and when I open the files in XCode, I don't see Chinese characters that I can readily copy. Is there a way to accomplish what I want?
String resource files are just plist files. In the terminal, use plutil -p to dump the contents of the file, which consists of maps of English keys to localized translations:

$ plutil -p /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/Resources/zh_CN.lproj/InfoPlist.strings


gives the output

(BTW, the title of the app is contained in CFBundleDisplayName and CFBundleName).
