First of all, i want to say sorry for my english, i'm french canadian and not perfectly bilingual...

I thinking of buying a 27" refurbished iMac...i'm new to the OS X World...

I know that with a refurbished i get 1 year warranty like new one and can buy Apple Care too, but i would like to know if it's possible to put the language of the OS in french because on Apple Web Site, it says Refurbished iMac are in english only...

What does it mean exactly ? I will receive a english keybord instead of french keyboard ??? English OS only ???

I can live with the English keyboard but not the english OS...

Thanks a lot !!!
 
You can for sure change the language to French, and even French, Canadian specifically I believe. And it's very easy, all you have to do is go to settings, click Language and Text, and choose which language you prefer.

All Macs come pre-loaded with pretty much all the popular languages and many of the obscure ones. I think you should be good.

It means that it comes with a US English keyboard. You can set the language to whatever you want.
