PMUG member Todd Adkisson will talk about using the Mac with a foreign language. The presentation example will use Japanese, but the techniques for language selection apply to any language.

At our rousing September meeting, Steve Riggins (That would be me!) will be discussing iOS 6, what is means to you, how to prepare for it, and how it integrates with Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.
We will also be kicking off a new feature of the general meetings, App of the Month. App of the Month is meant to be a short, 10 minute or so introduction to a Mac or iOS application that a member finds interesting. If you have an app that makes your life better, either in work, play, or at home, we’d love to have you talk about it! Contact sriggins at pmug dot org, or just come up and talk to me or any officerish type member (Peren, Anne, Connie, Janet, Charles, Jay, John, Joan, Bill, etc) at the meeting or on the forums. Jay Trullinger will be our inaugural presenter!
Hope to see you there!
Steve
