Language

Last updated 7 months ago

The Catalog App is available in English 🇬🇧, Dutch 🇳🇱, French 🇫🇷, German 🇩🇪, and Spanish 🇪🇸. It automatically detects the macOS primary language and adapts to it using native Apple localization. This applies to all components in the app but also details like app descriptions. The only exception is category names, as those are configured in the Configuration Profile with the Categories preference key.

Managing language

Although the Catalog App is designed to automatically adapt to the user's preferred language, it is possible to manage and override the language using the Configuration Profile. To achieve this, the macOS general AppleLanguages preference key can be used for the domain nl.root3.catalog. The accepted format is the two-letter ISO 639-1 standard such as en, nl, fr, de or es and limited to supported localizations.

Key: AppleLanguages

Value type: Array of strings

Default: -

<key>AppleLanguages</key>
<array>
  <string>nl</string>
</array>

Managing the Catalog App language is not a supported feature and is considered a macOS platform setting. Keep in mind Apple may change its behaviour or the functionality may break at any point.
