Exactly, the console has two tabs Tasks and Messages. When you move a 
message I suppose you see a task, check if it completes. Check for messages.
Checking in "Terminal" can be useful too, but if you see nothing, 
perhaps nothing unexpected happened.

see NSLanguages. You may set it per-application or global, depending on 
the domain.

"hanging operation" was referred to the application console, thus 
application specifich.

Debugging is a term of running gdb or similar.
e.g.
launch gdb

type a breakpoint, to try catching all exceptions
b [NSException raise]

then hit "r" and see then run your task and see if an exception araises.
