Credits: This is a swift clone of AlfredWorkflow-App-Language-Switcher by mpco. Due to the latest release of macOS 12.3, python2 has been removed, which broke the original workflow. So I reimplemented this workflow in Swift.

Install

Prepare

  1. you should have unlocked Powerpack in Alfred
  2. make sure you have swift available in terminal.(If you have Xcode installed, you can skip this step.):
    1. type swift --version in terminal, if you don’t see any version info output, following next step to install it.
    2. type xcode-select --install in terminal to install swift cli tools

Install

download workflow then click the downloaded file to install

Usage

  1. choose a app in alfred
  2. press → to enter file action menu
  3. input language to enter language selection menu
  4. search languages with their names, select a language then press ↵ to select language and launch the app. (you may also press cmd + enter to set the selected language as default language)
