You're way overthinking this.
1. "Application Support" is a standard directory name in Mac OS X, and it's
always the same name regardless of localization; as with other standard
directory names, the Finder localizes the name before displaying it.
2. Look for the function NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(). Pass the
constant NSApplicationSupportDirectory. Consider which domains you want to
cover. Heed the warning that the paths the function returns may not describe
directories that exist yet.
For a cheap example, create a dummy Core Data, non-document project, and crib
the Application Support algebra from the application delegate.
