Arabic Subtitles (right to left)

hi,
I'm working on a dvd project with 10 subtitle streams - one of them being arabic. When I paste the arabic text into dvd studio - the text is displayed in the wrong direction (left to right). is there a way to change the font direction in dvd studio for a single subtitle track.
I tried to paste the text directly from mellel (text editor with right to left support) with no success. I have imported all other subtitles via stl import with nearly no problems
has anyone already produced a dvd with arabic or hebrew subtitles?
cheers,
/ingo
PS: I'm using dvd studio version 4.2.0

hi tom,
thanks for the tip - I got some nice arabic subtitles in dvd studio!! now i just have to find out what to do with the menus, i did in aftereffects - but I guess that's something for another forum...

  • Urgent help required regarding reports Arabic Characters (Right to Left)

    Hello Members
    I am facing problem while deploying oracle reports on application server (Forms & Reports). I am using Developer Suite 10g 10.1.2.0.2 and same version of Application Server on Windows Environment. I have some fields in Arabic and some are in English. The reports output is in PDF format. I am also using PDF Subset fonts feature to subset the Arabic font problem.
    Now the problem which I cannot is that I wanted that PDF generate report read Right to Left only for some specific fields not all fields. For example the following fields displayed as
    395/دمام (Actually reading left to right and same saved in database)
    But I wanted to be numbers are displayed first and then arabic word (dammam) while reading right to left.
    My NLS_settings on developer suite and application server is “AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256”
    When I am changing the nls_settings to “ARABIC_SAUDI ARABIA.AR8MSWIN1256”. It convert the whole report layout from righ to left and then it is not reading well the English fields i.e. left to right.

    The problem was solved by changing
    REPORTS_BIDI_ALGORITHM=UNICODE
    REPORTS_ARABIC_NUMERAL=ARABIC
    But now i have another issue that i wanted to display one filed with REPORTS_ARABIC_NUMERAL=ARABIC and second with REPORTS_ARABIC_NUMERAL=HINDI. During my all search i found that this is applied on Report wise and we cannot set for one filed.
    Would any body will help me to change REPORTS_ARABIC_NUMERAL for one field at runtime or design time either changing the registry value or any configuration file of application server ?

  • Template/Theme for Right to Left (RTL) pages (Arabic)

    Dear All,
    Please can some one provide me with online documentation or links with detail steps to create Templates / Themes for pages to be displayed in Arabic language (Right to Left).
    Thanks
    Best Regards
    Arif Khadas

    Hello Arif,
    >> Please can some one provide me with online documentation or links with detail steps to create Templates / Themes for pages to be displayed in Arabic language (Right to Left).
    I’m afraid these are not really exist. The official documentation doesn’t include Right-To-Left references, and I’m not really familiar with any other on-line documentations that cover this issue. As far as I know, the relevant chapter in my book is the first (and probably the only) time where APEX Right-To-Left development support was covered.
    The following thread can give you a hint on how to start (the CSS direction attribute) and why this is not enough. As I said before, Right-To-Left development is fully supported by APEX but it’s not that simple and can’t be covered in a single forum thread. I know I’m bias (as I wrote the book) but if you are serious about developing Right-To-Left APEX applications you should consider purchasing the book. For the long run, it will save you a lot of time (and frustration).

  • Pages v5.5.2 - Missing Option for right-to-left languages (bi-directional) such as Arabic & Kurdish

    Started using Pages as Windows for Mac does not support right-to-left languages (Kurdish, Arabic) effectively. BUT, sadly disappointed that Pages does not seem to support right-to-left (bi-directional) text either. I realise it gives you the option of aligning the text to the right-hand side but this is different from having the right-to-left option. Previous posts said it could be found under Format - Text and there should be the option 'Reverse Text Direction' (see related thread here) but in the version I have (v5.5.2) I can't see it.
    Please can anyone help? I'm having to seriously think about going back to Windows as Apple doesn't provide sufficient support for right-to-left languages.

    I've seen the notes you referred to before and so was looking for the 'arrows' button but it's not present in my version of Pages.
    I think perhaps something is wrong with your machine.  See below a picture of mine.  Do you have the Arabic or some other RTL keyboard showing in the "flag" menu at the top right?

    Hi there

    1- How can I get more Arabic Fonts with More Decorated style

    I think this will afect the other application Im using If some one help me with it.

    "Many" is an exageration, you can count R to L languages on one hand.
    Mostly they are used in countries which try not to pay for their software, and seem to have a pretty shoddy printing industry, so not much incentive for developers.
    However Arabic is a major language and Apple should fix the problem.
    As Tom suggests try Mellel, which is the best solution on the Mac.
    Adobe has ME versions of both Indesign and Photoshop, for which you pay extra. They mostly work well.
    MsWord for Windows (not the Mac) does reasonably well, but I have not tried its DTP features with Arabic so can't vouch for how solid they are in Word.

    It's not possible yet in Numbers.  Or Excel for Mac.  I think LibreOffice can do it.
    (This answer is based on your having gotten it backwards:  you want it to read RTL but you can only see it LTR.  Arabic is supposed to be RTL).

    With CS6 you have to pay extra for these plugins.

  • Arabic Smartform - Display text right to left?

    I have been asked to investigate how to create some smartforms which will display the Arabic language reading right to left.
    I know how to create a smartform for different languages but I'm stuck on the right to left formatting.  It's not a case of just right justifying all the text, the words have to be displayed reading right to left.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks but I've just found out this is not the requirement.

  • Making placed Arabic Copy from Word read right to left

    Hello!
    I am placing a  word document into Indeign that is done in Arabic.
    When I place it, it reads from left to right (for example, there is a number that starts each paragraph and it shows up on the left, but should be on the right).
    Is there a setting that would let the text read from right to left?
    thanks
    babs

    You need one of the following:
    Expensive option: InDesign CS4 ME edition or CS5 ME edition
    OR
    Not-expensive option: InDesign CS4 or CS5 with World Tools installed
    OR
    Free but barely functional option: InDesign CS4 or CS5 with a script to turn on the World-Ready Composer (which is in CS4 and CS5, but not accessible to normal English-languge installs of ID without a plugin or a script; just search Google for "World-Ready Composer" to learn all about it)
    AND
    someone literate in Arabic to check your work.
    World Tools has all of the numbering/character direction/hanging indent/etc. tools you need, while the scripts to turn on the WRC do not. I am a very happy user of World Tools - it has all of the necessary tools for doing RTL layouts at a very reasonable price point.
    Also, I have to point out that my Arabic translation teams have never submitted a translation of a numbered list in English that was still "numbered" in Arabic in Hindi numerals; I've always seen 'em convered to lettered lists. (That is, alef, beh, teh instead of 1, 2, 3.) Stuff like that is why I suggest that you really do need someone to check what you've typeset. Beyond that, if you don't understand my list-advice, you should probably turn over the typesetting of your Arabic who is already an experienced designer/typesetter/formatter/DTPer/whatever in Arabic.

  • Hi, does anyone know if the brand new Microsoft Word for iPad works with right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic? Thanks

    Hi, just got the Microsoft Word app on my iPad mini, great app in my opinion- just would like to know if anyone has a way to switch into right to left orientation just like Pages now has.
    So far the only way I could get this to work was by emailing myself a Hebrew document, erasing it all, and writing the new document in its place, which actually really worked, with true formatting and all. Thing is, I wouldn't sign myself up for 10 bucks a month for a half-baked workaround which Pages does perfectly. Otherwise, Word is awesome.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    I wonder if that means that the iPad Word is a port of the Windows Word with some formqtting options disabled. Just wondering.
    I think iPad Word is closer to Mac Word than Win Word.  Mac Word, for 13 years now, has been unable to create connected Arabic text, except on a Win Word doc with some Arabic already there.   I've never seen an explanation for this, but suspect it has something to do with Windows ability to embed fonts in such docs.  In any case, this work around still has enough bugs that I don't think it has ever been widely used.

  • Flash Player 9 (CS3) Arabic right-to-left (right to left) typing in input fields

    Any input field (when typing arabic) should type right ot
    left rather than left to right.
    Does ANY version of flash/flash player support right-to-left
    typing in arabic or any other right-to-left language.
    I really urgently need an official answer saying yes or no.
    I can see that flash supports arabic characters etc but as
    far as I can see it does not support the right-to-left
    typing.

    These are user to user forums, and while the occasional Adobe
    employee does float through, you won't get an official answer here.
    But you already know the answer and it is, sadly, no.
    I doubt this is something that will change with versions of
    the Flash Player, more likely the whole next version of Flash. So
    probably at least 1 to 2 years and even then I doubt they will
    support it. Complex languages seem to be something that Adobe isn't
    really all that interested in.
    I'm currently trying to make a graffiti-style handwriting
    recognition system for Hindi with Flash -- and it looks promising.
    What are you trying to do?
