I want to run Pages in one language but MacOS X in another. How do I do that?

Let's assume that you want Pages in Dutch and MacOS X in English.

1. Set MacOS X to run in English (System Preferences > International > Language, and drag English to the top of the list.)
2. Go to Applications > iWork.
3. Highlight the Pages icon. Type ⌘-i or go to the menu File > Get Info.
4. Expand the section for Languages.
5. Uncheck all languages except Dutch.
6. Start Pages. You are done.

You can of course replace Dutch and English with any other available language you want to.

I tried this hoping it would change all the templates from Spanish to English, but no such luck. Any ideas please? It's driving me crazy!!!
