Multilingual Keynote

Is there a way to format a keynote presentation for multiple languages? For example, we create a presentation in English, but also want to load in Spanish translations. Then, a viewer can determine which language they would like to view the presentation in?

Changing the language of Keynote slide layout options Hi there. I have a Keynote file created in iCloud Keynote by a colleague on her Windows PC, of which the system language is traditional Chinese. She created the iCloud Keynote file and shared it with me. However, the slide layout options of this file are also in traditional Chinese. I can't find a way to change the language to English on my Mac using the desktop Keynote.app. Does anyone know how to change the slide layout language?

Slide to Type languages support Hello, It's been a while since Slide to Type has been introduced in iOS 13, which was a long awaited feature for some. Still, it's only been supporting just six languages and no other languages were ever added to this since that time, e.g. Russian which has a major share among iOS devices. It is both surprising and frustrating to see that this feature has never been updated not only in the minor iOS versions but also in the 14th. From the latest keynote, it seems that the feature won't support other languages in iOS 15 either. Does it mean that the feature update requires yet another major iOS version, i.e. 16th, or the language libraries can still be included into minor system updates? Please, just add Russian language (and other) support for Slide to Type, so just the stock iOS keyboard can be used.

I don't believe that Keynote supports any multi-lingual, user selection process for viewing the presentation in different languages.

I believe the following capability will be enabled in Keynote 11.2 when run on macOS Monterey, which Apple refers to as macOS 12 in the article, but this is not what I believe you are asking for:

Format a presentation for another language in Keynote on Mac.
