Languages Confused on my Mac I am having a problem with the Mac's language settings. I live in Portugal but write in English 90% of the time. I tried having English as my primary language and Portuguese as my second language, but that didn't work. I changed the settings to English only but left the country as Portugal, as it makes it much easier with a few things. Unfortunately, it shows almost everything as mis-spelled and makes some really odd suggestions. And yes, I rebooted after changing the settings. I have attached an image with the settings and a little bit of typing in Pages to show what is happening, including the suggested "fixes" for the word "have." The suggestions are all Portuguese words. I know the keyboard settings are unrelated, but I have an English keyboard set to English. M1 Mini, 11.4

Websites open in the wrong language Hello everyone, I first created my apple account long ago in Russia. Since then, I have changed my location to the US and language to English. But my new MacBook that has never been outside the US keeps open webpages (like Coursera etc) in Russian. It's not the MacBook's problem, I believe. The system language here is set to English. Is it possible that my apple account still has this information on the preferred language sometime before was different and insists on using it? How do I change it? Thank you for any help.

Numbers on MacOS: Set language to US English? I live in the UK, but I need my Numbers sheet to use US English spellings. I've tried everything, but the inline spelling seems to check everything as UK English, so any US spellings get flagged up as errors, which makes proofing my work harder than it should be. How can I force Numbers to only use US English spellings for the inline spell checker? Steps I have tried: 1. Going to Apple menu > System Preferences > Language & Region I have deleted all languages other than US English and Japanese. The region is set to UK, because I prefer UK units: 2. In Numbers I have gone to File > Advanced > Language and Region: For Language, it only gives me the option of English (There is no US English option). However, I have set the region to US. Any ideas? Environment: MacOS 10.14.6, Numbers version 10.1 (6913)
