I see that Apple is spending lots of time and resources to update and increase the Emoji icons in both OS X and iOS
For someone who uses my Apple devises primarily for business, it is more important to see Apple concentrate on making their devises truly international in their use. By this I mean by now (2015) I should be able to e.g. auto spell check my documents in just about any language. Currently, Apple supports only 12 languages (5 different English, 2 Portuguese and 10 other). In comparison, Microsoft supports about 45-50 different languages.
I made the switch to the Mac platform about 5-6 years ago and I am extremely pleased with the switch. I would love to use the native productivity products (Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Mail) 100% but when the majority of my work is in a language not supported by OS X (Norwegian), I have been forced to use MS Office for Mac, which supports the language I need.
Thus far I have resisted installing Outlook on my machines, but it is becoming increasingly cumbersome (not very productive) to write my e-mail in Word so I can spell check before copying and pasting the text into a Mac Mail message to send.
Ironically, I can use iMessage on my iOS devises and it will autocorrect Norwegian.
It is hard, as a business person, to understand why this language capability is so limited in Apple´s productivity software. Equally hard is it to understand what the big "hoopla" is over new and improved Emojis. Mac products (OS X or iOS) are more than for fun and entertainment. People use them to make money as well.
Can anyone shed any light on why this shortcoming has not been solved years ago, or provide some glimmer of hope that there is an imminent update that will address and fix this issue? Or, am I the only one with this kind of issue?
