Step-by-step Secret language feature
Use the secret language menu
The latest Pages and Numbers updates bring interesting language capabilities and you can choose the language and region for a document. Previously, dates, currency and number formatting were automatically set to the Mac’s region. If you wanted to create documents for another language and region, you had to change the Mac’s region. Now it is a menu option in Pages and Numbers.
There is a well-hidden secret language feature in Pages and Numbers that enables you to choose the language when creating a new document. It even changes the text within templates to your chosen language. It is only dummy text that you will replace anyway, but if you are creating a document for another language and region, it is a useful reminder. You can work in any language within a document even though the Mac system is set to UK English.
