Microsoft is rolling out fresh versions of its Office apps that work natively with Apple’s M1 chip, the powerhouse of the new Macbook Air, Macbook Pro and Mac Mini. Rosetta will then be available for any of your apps that need it. The first time you launch a Mac app on an Apple Silicon computer, you might be asked to install the Rosetta component to open it. That need to translate on the first run means the apps may initially launch a little more slowly than normal (up to 20 seconds, in some cases), but you won’t experience the same delay the next time you run the application. Some apps (including Microsoft Office apps) are translated the first time you run them.
When translation finishes, the system launches the translated executable in place of the original. If an executable contains only Intel instructions, macOS automatically launches Rosetta and begins the translation process. To the user, Rosetta is mostly transparent. In short, it translates apps built for Intel so they will run on Apple Silicon (like the M1 chip). Rosetta 2 is an emulator designed to bridge the transition between Intel and Apple processors. Please update to EndNote 20.1.0 Rosetta explanation The EndNote 20.1.0 update provides compatibility with Apple Silicon-based Macintosh. Click here for our webshop, or email us at info (at)
