I would think so. You need to set the primary language in the "Languages 
and Regions" panel of the System Preferences and restart MailMate to get 
the right locale settings active. You can confirm the currently active 
locale environment variables by opening a new window in Terminal and 
entering "locale" which will give you something like this:

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

OR:

LANG="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_CH.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

If only want to use a particular locale with a single program like 
MailMate, you can start it in a Terminal session with an environment 
override:

LC_ALL=de_CH.UTF-8 /Applications/MailMate.app/Contents/MacOS/MailMate
