iWork for iCloud updated with eight new languages, easier document renaming and more

Apple has updated its iWork for iCloud web-based productivity suite with eight new languages, the ability to rename documents in the editor and a few minor additional enhancements.

Pages gets all eight new languages: Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish – including bidirectional support for Arabic and Hebrew. Numbers and Keynote get all but Arabic and Hebrew … 

All three apps gain the ability to rename documents from within the editor, more than 50 new fonts and the ability to move & resize chart legends, as well as to drag wedges from a pie-chart. Pages now also allows you to undo deleted section breaks.

The Mac versions of the apps were updated last month, with a flatter UI for OS X Yosemite and some new features.

    Why are Numbers and Keynote left out for Arabic and Hebrew? Right-to-Left is just as important in presentations and labels in spreadsheets.

      Yes, I’m sure Apple is working on it, but does seem odd to have a delay between apps.

      Not to mention Pages got a .1 desktop update where Numbers and Keynote didn’t – that same day their iOS counterparts all got the .1 update as well – I think Apple is just running behind.

  2. So I’m starting to wonder about something. Suppose Apple ads an iTunes Light into iCloud. And they add limited App Store app support within iCloud, which is to say that any app that can work WITHIN iCloud itself is available. And that iCloud OS could go full screen — so that iCloud was Mac’s version of Chrome OS.

    Do you see what I mean? Will the ‘Mac for everybody else’ be a Cloud service available on the HP Stream, Chromebooks, whatever?

    Numbers actually works in Hebrew… I just checked it out.. Don’t know why they didn’t write it…
