How to change the language on a Mac

When you buy a Mac, it comes with a default language and time zone setting based on where you bought it. These settings are not fixed. You can easily add multiple languages ​​or just your native language if you prefer to use that.

You can also change the language temporarily, for example for presentations or to familiarize yourself with another language you are practicing. And it’s not just system files and default settings – the language flexibility extends to the apps you use.
