The Mac OS version I run has a launcher, you choose the language and which mods to play from pop-up menus in that launcher window. Not all of the mods are localized to French, though.
I have the Macstore version (Complete?), and the mods go here:
~/Library/Containers/com.vpltd.hoi3collection-MAS/Data/Library/Application Support/com.vpltd.HOI3TFH-MAS/mod_tfh/
Seriously. You select "Original Game" or the mod you want to use in the launcher. I have no idea about french localization though.
Hope this helps.

Yes I saw i can select original game or the mod I want to play so before i must put the files of the mod in the "mod" directory.
When i go in "library" directory i have no files but I put the option to see all the files in mac OS X i don't understand.

Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

At the bottom you see the directory structure, and ww1 is currently the only mod i have installed.

A mod will consist of a file "MOD_NAME.mod" and a folder "MOD_NAME" with a bunch of sub folders and files in it. Both the .mod file and the folder need to be put into the game's "mod" folder. However, beware, there are 2 "mod" folders. You need to put the mod file and folder in the right "mod" folder which is the "Data/tfh/mod" folder, not the "Data/mod" folder. So, you first need to find the actual Data folder. The location of the Data folder depends on where you purchased the game. You should be able to locate it by right clicking on the alias you normally click to launch the game and selecting "show original". Once you find the "Data" folder, open it and locate the "tfh" folder. Open the "tfh" folder and find the "mod" folder. That is where the mod file and folder must be placed. These instructions will work in English, YMWV in French.
I have find it's ok now, I didn't know mac so it's difficult at the beginning because i know only windows but it's good i play with mods.
Sorry but I have an other question, the weekend I play on my Imac and the week I play on a laptop computer for my work but i don't find the directory for save games on my Mac OS X. Do you know ? Thanks
In my Macstore version (seems Direct2Mac is different) the vanilla save games are here:
~/Library/Containers/com.vpltd.hoi3collection-MAS/Data/Library/Application Support/com.vpltd.HOI3TFH-MAS/GameDocuments/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron III/save games
Mod save games are in (you need to replace YOURMODNAME with the name of your mod):
~/Library/Containers/com.vpltd.hoi3collection-MAS/Data/Library/Application Support/com.vpltd.HOI3TFH-MAS/GameDocuments/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron III/YOURMODNAME/save games
Good luck (and yes, those folders are kind of obvious...).

No chance, in my OS x version, i don't have the same directory, all the week within my save 
Anyone play HOI on Mac OS X ?

Curious. The location is different with the Deliver2Mac install.
I thank you so much ! I have tried so many times to use mods that would never play on my Mac. I now understand I was always using the wrong data folder !!!
