How to run OS X in one language but certain apps in another

Ever want to run your OS in French but you live in America and type mostly in English?

Because if you want to use more than one language at a time on your computer you’re Doing It Wrong, because if you were doing it right, Apple would have provided a way to do it that way.

Astounding that this requires a 3rd-party application. Yes, it is possible to change the language in your document, but if you also use paragraph styles, they have a set languge.  And that set language doesn’t change when you set the language on the whole document.  And you can’t highlight the whole document of mixed languages and set the whole thing to one of them.  Usability at its finest.

Apple, some computer users do know how to operate computers.

  1. Dang Apple! Both they and Microsoft have a habit of assuming their users are idiots.

    By the way, two people just read your blog, so it’s a success!

    Linux assumes you have a PhD in… um… Linux or something.
