Did you know you can run TextExpander in a different language than the rest of your Mac? Whether you’re testing localized snippets, brushing up on another language, or just vibing with your multilingual side — macOS makes it easy to set a specific app to a different language. :bullseye::speaking_head:

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open System Settings .
  2. Go to General > Language & Region .
  3. Scroll to the bottom and look for the Applications section.
  4. Click the + button.
  5. Select TextExpander from your list of apps.
  6. Choose your preferred language from the dropdown.
  7. Restart TextExpander and boom :collision: — it’ll launch in your chosen language!

I’ve set mine to French just for fun — and I gotta say, les raccourcis n’ont jamais été aussi chics! :france::scissors:

:brain: Pro Tip: This works with most apps that support multiple languages — but it’s especially handy for tools like TextExpander where you’re working with text and want to see how it behaves in different locales.

Let me know if you give it a try or want help setting it up! :speech_balloon::sparkles:
