macOS Catalina has come with a few new features like Screen Time and Confirmation with Apple Watch. While the highlight additions got plenty of attention, nifty little features like the ability to change the language of a particular Mac app didn’t get much attention – just like its iOS 13 counterpart. I found this feature really useful as I like to localize some of my favorite apps. Arguably, the best part about it is the customization, which makes it much easier to control the languages of your favorite apps. If you find it worth a try, here is a quick breakdown of customizing language settings for specific apps in macOS Catalina.
