iWork Apps Language Improvements

Apple released updates to its iWork apps for iOS, Mac, and iCloud on October 15, and info on the added features can be found here.

It looks like most apps got improved support for bidirectional scripts, though it's not clear what that involves.

The apps for iCloud are no longer "beta" and have a major expansion in their language support, which now covers  U.S. English, French, German, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Polish, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.
