To see examples of the formatting differences, tap the language in the message. When you view a document that uses a language and formatting different from your device’s, a message near the bottom of the document indicates which formatting is used. When you choose a new language, the template titles and text and some of the formatting controls change to reflect that language. Tap outside the settings to close them, then tap the template you want to use. Tap in the top-right corner of the template chooser, then choose another language (you may need to tap the current language to see other languages). With the document manager in browse view, tap at the top of the screen. This language setting affects only the current document. You might want to do this if you plan to share the document with someone in another region.įor example, some regions use commas instead of periods to indicate decimal points, or different monetary symbols for currency, or they display numbers from right to left instead of left to right. When you create a new document, you can automatically format numbers, dates, times, and currency in tables and charts using the formatting conventions of a specific language and region. For example, if you switch the input source from English to Hebrew, the insertion point moves to the right side of the document. If you switch to a language written in a direction different from the current language, the insertion point moves to the side of the document used by the new language. To switch to the other input source, press and hold at the bottom of the keyboard, then choose the one you want. If Pages is open, quit Pages and reopen it so that it recognizes the source. To learn about using different languages and keyboards, see the user guide for your device. Tap Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard, then tap the keyboard you want to use. On the Home screen, tap Settings, then tap General. When you add a language-specific keyboard to your device, that language is also added to your device’s preferred language list. To use another language in your document, first set up an input source (for example, a language-specific keyboard or character palette) for the language.
