Bringing Back the Old Language Switcher in macOS

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• A Mac running macOS
• A basic understanding of the Terminal application

Steps

Follow these steps to bring back the old language switcher:

1. Open Terminal

   To open Terminal, go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal. Alternatively, you can use Spotlight search.

2. Enter the Command

   Type the following command and press Enter:

   sudo nvram com.apple.menuextra.clover.apple.language.show=1

   Note: This command might not work on all versions of macOS. If it doesn't, try the next step.

3. Create a Plist File

   If the previous command doesn't work, create a plist file:

   1. Create a new file called "com.apple.menuextra.clover.apple.language.plist" in the following directory:
   ~/Library/Preferences/

   You can create the file using any text editor, such as TextEdit or Sublime Text.

   Add the following content to the file:

   com.apple.menuextra.clover.apple.language

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully brought back the old language switcher in macOS. Now you can switch languages using the globe key again.
