General explanation
It is possible to select various languages for particular applications in macOS, which is useful if you prefer to use an application in a language other than the default language of the macOS system. There are multiple reasons why one might desire to alter the language of a particular application, including dissatisfaction with the app’s translation, working with a global team, and desiring to use consistent terminology or following tutorials in a different language.
