why the text language I had in a "for sale" flyer that I created in Pages is now in Spanish? I highlighted & pasted the text into Google Translate thinking somehow the language was changed from English to spanish but it did not translate as what I had written. I also noticed the text has changed to spanish in a card my husband created in iPhoto.

MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I know that physically its going to cost and its going to be a tough mod job. but can I put the macbook in english and would I be able to make the keyboard use the english keyboard? like it will automatically change the keys around?
A friend of a friend is selling his spanish macbook and i am interested in buying it. someone told me it is easy to convert the OS to english, is that true? also, do these units have a spanish keyboard as well. i have seen spanish PC's and they do have spanish keyboards. i assume the same goes for a mac.
if so, would it be difficult to swap out the keyboard for an english one?
How do I do the different fonts/characters needed for certain spanish words like the upside down question mark. Is that a download issue or does it work with a different use of my keyboard?
I'm desperately looking for an English - Spanish translation app for OSX.4.11, preferably free, of course, ha ha, but if anyone out there can make a recommendation, I'm willing to fork out as I need it for work.
I have a problem writing documents in Spanish and it is that I don't know how to use Spanish special characters and symbols used in MS Word, Text Edit or any other text editor in a Mac computer. I have to send status reports in Spanish to my Hispanic customers and I need to learn this before my work accumulates up to a point where I won't be able to catch up.
On a Windows PC it is relatively easy by using a combination of the ALT key and a three digits number that correspond to the letter and then it appears. How do I do it in a Mac?
I'm wanting to learn to speak Spanish and was wondering if anyone could recommend some inexpensive Mac software. I have a Windows version of something, but I don't have Windows on my Mac, and not much room on my HDD to install it, so I'm wanting a Mac one.
I've looked around online, and, honestly, it's a bit confusing without actually trying out the software.
I am trying pages '08 in hopes that it will be the long sought replacement for MS word. Only one problem so far - I do lots of writing in Spanish but there is no way to access the Spanish dictionary in my Pages spell checker. When I hit <spelling> and then <spelling> the spell dialog comes up ok but only in English and there is no dictionary button that will allow me to change languages. It is not a problem with the OS X speller because the dictionary and dialogs work fine in both Spanish and English in other programs such as Mellel, Word, and even in the '08 versions of Keynote and Numbers. I love everything else about it so far but this one quirk would make it impossible for me to give up Word. Any suggestions as to what might be the problem with Pages?
I use Mail as my email application in Leopard, and write emails in both English and Spanish. If I add a Spanish dictionary to the dictionary App will that atomatically be used in spell check as well? If so does anyone have and recomendations? If not what can I do to have spell check in both languages?
I was sick for a couple of months and came back on here, and now my regional settings seem to no longer give me free Spanish music. Does anyone know why that is? Most of the stuff I buy comes from the musicians I'm introduced to through the free music.

my question is simple. I want my Mac to read text both in spanish and english.
I installed the OS in spanish and when the Mac reads text in spanish it is all fine, but of course when reading text in english it sounds terribly as it reads it as if it were a spanish text.
Is there any way to make the Mac read well in both languages?

For some reason my auto-correct has a dictionary based in spanish. Example: when editing my resume I have put down the word Administrative , but it says it is wrong and gives suggestions such as Administrativa or Administrativo.
I have changed the spell check options to only have US english as the default setting and this suddenly pops up. I never put Spanish in my international language settings on the mac, nor have I had someone who speaks spanish use the computer.
I don't know if this forum is the correct one to ask the question I have.
I'm going to New York next month, and I'd like to know if I could buy the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (Spanish version) in one of the Apple Store of New York.
As someone taking spanish for a class in school it would be greatly beneficial to spell check both English and Spanish in the spell checker in Pages. Is this possible?
I have a .AVI movie that is in spanish, I am wondering what software is there if ANY to add and create subtitles......also does it translate for you? the problem is I dont speak spanish but I really want to watch this movie
I have a MacBook Pro that's running OS X 10.7.4 and it's stuck in Spanish language. I've tried reseting the Language Preference to English in the System Preferences, but it still uses Spanish for Login, and different warnings, etc. How can I fix this, and make it English across the entire system?
Mac screen resolution is getting higher and higher, which is nice, but the downside is that we seem to have lost "what you see is what you get." I have set the default document size of Text-Edit to about the size of an 8 1/2 x 11 document, which fits easily on the screen. I have what appears to be a single page of text. It all easily fits in the document window. The headline fits across the width of the page. But when I choose Print, the print preview shows that the text is going to spill out onto two sheets of paper. I exit out of the print document and reduce the text size so that it all prints out on one sheet of paper. The problem is, the size of the text onscreen is now TINY! It looks like it's about 6 point while the printed text looks like it's about 12 point! No WYSIWYG! When I revert the document to the way it was originally, where it was going to print out on two sheets of paper, and then hold my printed document up next to the screen, the printed size matches the onscreen size almost perfectly, even though, if printed out at this size, the text would spill out onto two pages and be huge. In other words, 18 point size text prints out at about 12 points and 12 pt text prints out at about 6pts, so there's about a 6pt difference in how text looks onscreen and how it prints out. Again, No WYSIWYG! My older Macs had much lower-resolution screens, but text printed out at about the same apparent size on screen. I know the original Macs had 72dpi screens so that they would closely match the printed size of text, and I like the fact that monitors keep getting better, but is there a way around this problem of printed text not matching the size of onscreen text?
