Dialects
AppleScript scripts can be displayed in several different dialects, or representations of AppleScript that resemble human languages or programming languages. The dialects available on a given computer are determined by the Dialects folder, a folder in the Scripting Additions folder (which in turn is located in the Extensions folder of the System Folder) that contains one dialect file for each AppleScript dialect installed on your computer.You can select any of the available dialects from the Script Editor. You can
tell which dialects are available by examining the pop-up menu in the lowerleft corner of a Script Editor window. You can change the dialect in which a script is displayed by selecting a different dialect from the pop-up menu. The behavior of a script when you run it is not affected by the dialect in which it
is displayed.For more information about selecting dialects and formatting options from the Script Editor, see Getting Started With AppleScript.
