How to change (switch) language on Mac
Switching the language on a Mac can be done in at least three ways:
one. By clicking on the checkbox in the menu bar.
2. Using keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Space (in some cases configured as: Command (⌘) + Space).
3. The most convenient way to switch languages is to use the Yandex Punto Switcher application, which allows you to automatically change the keyboard layout on a Mac.
You never have to change the layout at all – the program will do everything for you. For example, if the English language was set and you started writing the word ghbdtn, then after pressing the spacebar, the typed word will automatically turn into “hello”, and subsequent words will already be typed in Russian and vice versa. Very comfortably.
