About This Feature

Overview

Change Language is a built-in setting in WPS Office for Mac that lets you switch the display language of the app interface for different working environments.

Core capabilities include:

Switch the interface language: choose a target language in global settings and apply it.
Support multiple language environments: available options include Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and more.
Apply after restart: restart WPS after applying the new language to complete the change.

This feature is useful for multilingual work, cross-language collaboration, or using WPS on devices in different regions. It changes the interface language only and does not modify document content.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Change the app interface language in the Mac client through Global Settings → Change Language, then restart the app to apply it.	Microsoft Office separates display, authoring, and proofing languages; on Mac, the Office display language follows the primary macOS language.	Google Docs supports document translation and typing language changes, while service display language is generally managed through Google account or service settings.	Notion lets you change the display language in Settings under Language preferences; on mobile, app language follows system language ranking.	Adobe Acrobat Desktop Help includes a Change Acrobat language setting under preferences and settings.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the language entry is centralized in the client settings, which helps you switch the interface language quickly; the change affects the interface only, not document content.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers separate controls for display, authoring, and proofing, but the setup is more distributed and the Mac interface language depends on system language order.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on document language, translation, and typing language than on a single desktop client interface-language workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion also supports direct display-language switching, but its mobile app language still follows system language ranking.	Compared with WPS: Adobe provides a language-change entry, but the related guidance is organized through a broader desktop help structure, so finding the exact path can depend more on help navigation.

Overall Conclusion: WPS provides a direct path for changing the interface language on Mac, which fits users who want a quick client-level language switch. If you need separate controls for display, typing, or proofing language, other products provide different settings models for those tasks.
