Hebrew Text Everywhere

Hebrew Text is showing up in my browsers, MS Office docs, Google searches and some of the mail and I cannot get it to go away. Right in the address window of my browser!
It seems erratic. It appears to be spreading between my two G4s. I've tried changing every preference setting I can find. When the preferences appear in Hebrew it is impossible.
Could this be some virus prank?
Note: I go back & forth between two OS Start up disks: (OS 9.2 and 10.3.9) because of my aging graphic software and printer (Epson 5000).
Is there any system language preference selection that I might have missed?
Could it be some translation setting turning English to Hebrew?

Are you totally sure it is Hebrew? Send me a screen shot (tom at bluesky dot org).
Hebrew in iTunes is caused by the font Lucida Grande.ttf. You should get rid of that (but do NOT delete Lucida Grande.dfont in system/library/fonts, as that is crucial to the OS).
Other fonts that should be deleted if you have them are Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic.

Problems importing Hebrew text

I cut and pasted Hebrew text into MS Word from a Hebrew Word Processing Program (Davka 6). I then imported the text from Word into ID CS4 Standered. In about every third word a vowel sign under a letter dissappeared and was replaced with a box in middle of the word. I tried cutting and pasting from MS Word and got the same result. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Switching fonts doesn't help. (The font I used is DavidD) Thank you!

The only thing that got displaced was the hyphens in the text which
turned into superscripts.
That would be correct. They are called "makaf"s. The correct position
for hyphens (makafim) in Hebrew is at the x-height.

Copying Hebrew text from Excel

I noticed when I copy a Hebrew text from excel to a notepad, Hebrew words on the notepad are in reverse order.
If on excel the word is abc. it appears on the notepad as cba.
Is there a way to force the copy command to keep the original order?
Thanks,
Zalek

Hi,
Try pasting it to a Word document first, choose the option "Keep Text Only", test if this reverse the order.
If the order is correct, then copy and paste it to the Notepad.

Dreamweaver Help | Arabic and Hebrew text

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/arabic-hebrew-text.html

I'm a U.S. user who needs to insert and maintain short Hebrew text snippets, RTL, in otherwise LTR English Latin web pages. US DW CS5 is unable to cope.
This page discusses "Arabic and Hebrew" but as of this moment (8/8/2012) all I can find on the Adobe store on the Middle East and North Africa store page are English, English-Arabic, or French-Arabic versions of DW CS6. Does "Arabic" imply equal support of Hebrew? (If so, this should be made explicit.) If so, is the English/Arabic/Hebrew DW CS6 fully bilingual? That is, is it fully usable and maintainable by a user who speaks neither Arabic or Hebrew, only English? Are the upgrade paths from US CS5 to Arabic and Hebrew CS6 and so on distinct or intertwined? Will Adobe U.S. support, in total, be able to help with the features described on this page?

Selecting Hebrew text uses incorrect line breaks

On both an iPhone and an Android device running the latest version of Adobe Reader (10.4), as well as in Adobe Reader XI on a Win7 laptop, using the text selection tool to select Hebrew text is inaccurate. Often the line breaks are incorrect due to the RTL nature of Hebrew text. Also, at times, words are skipped entirely within the text selection region.
I have tried this with multiple documents prepared by different PDF tools.
Has anyone else foudn a way to make text selection work correctly with Hebrew PDF files?

Hebrew text

Dear participants,
I am using indesign CS3 and as we all know, in the west we are reading from left to right, now i had a peace of Hebrew text, which i want to use in a document but the problem is that Hebrew is written from right to left and what i tried doing i cannot place the piece of Hebrew text correctly in my document.
It still start from left to right and is completely mirrored. Adobe help cannot help me, the only answer they give is to buy CS5 ME copy, but for one line of text it is not an option.
Is there someone who can help me with this issue??

Here's your options:
1) If it's one line of text, you can just reverse the text with a simple script:
try{app.selection[0].contents = app.selection[0].contents.split("").reverse().join("");}catch(e){}
2) If it's more than one line, you will have issues of reflow if you reverse the text, so the best option using CS3 is a placed PDF.
3) If you upgrade to CS4/CS5 and it's really very little Hebrew, you can activate the World Ready Composer for the current selection with this little script:
app.selection[0].composer = "$ID/HL Composer Optyca";
4) If it's more than a little text, you probably would want a plugin which gives proper control over the r-t-l functionality. One such plugin is (my own) World Tools: http://in-tools.com/worldtoolspluscs5.html.
5) You could upgrade to CS5 ME, but I would generally not recommend that. The ME updates are much slower to come out than for the Roman version.

What mail program from what kind of computer are you sending your email? It sounds like an encoding problem that would have to be solved on the sending end. If you want, send me an example of the kind of email which arrives as gibberish on your iphone (tom at bluesky dot org).

• How can I correctly recuperate/extract Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew text?

Hello -
Context:
As a packaging designer, my clients are often requesting that we add Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew texts on packaging.
More often than not, I receive 4 different types of text sources :
— 1.
A .PDF containing a scan of the text needed (so nothing more than a picture).
— 2.
A .PDF whereby I can select the text and copy it into MS Word® but the sentence is no longer the same as what I had copied from the .PDF file! (e.g. some of the characters are replaced by strange ones).
— 3.
A .PDF file where the client has inserted an annotation which displays correctly in the Acrobat® but the moment that I do a copy/paste into MS Word®, the whole sentence is inversed (text appearing left to right instead of right to left -> For Arabic).
— 4.
Sometimes I also receive Excel® files.
After copying the text into MS Word®, I save the file in .PDF format and I then re-open it in Adobe Illustrator®.
Softwares:
          • Adobe® CS5 (Illustrator,...)
          • MS Office® 2011
          • Mac OS 10.6.8
Question:
Is there an easier, faster and more reliable method to extract such "exotic" text?
e.g. a plug-in, another software, another method (instead of having to pass through MS Word®, ...)
Thank you for your precious help.
Have anice day…
- Dimitri

Not really. It's inherent in dealing with this stuff on non-native systems. Your issues 2. and 3. Should be fixable by manually setting the document language in Word, though. Same for 4. then, of course, assuming the PDFs and comments use a standard Unicode/ OpenType font that can provide al lthe glyphs and no otehr substitution is going on....

Hebrew text placement missing characters

When placing text into ID CS6 (8.0) from an RTF file created in Davka Writer 7, I get a lot of pink boxes, all vowels AFAICS. This happens whether I use the ME version or InTools, and on both Windows and Mac. Anyone else had to deal with this?

I think you are exactly right that it is a mapping problem, but it's a puzzling one. The RTF generated by Davka Writer shows up perfectly in Word (on Windows--the Mac has its own problems which I'll leave aside for now). So all the glyphs, including the nikud, are there and are found and correctly displayed by Word.
When the file is placed into an ID document, however, many of the nikud are missing. I have been searching for a work-around with no success so far. Is there some setting in InDesign ME that handles the way text is handled under the "place" command?
We have a 500 page book to lay out, and really don't want to re-type all the Hebrew text, of which there is a lot!

Periods moving around in hebrew text

Hello,
I am trying to create a tutorial in Hebrew and am
experiencing difficulty.
When pasting text from Word into Authorware, I am having
trouble with the period moving from its correct placement at the
end of a sentence to the right side of the last line of text.
For example, in the source text, the period is placed
correctly as:
.*** *** *** (left side of line)
However, when pasted in Authorware, the period is placed as:
*** *** ***. (right side of line)
Thank you very much for any help you can provide!

I don't know about Hebrew but I never copy directly from Word
to AW. I
copy from Word to Notepad, and then from there into AW.

Hebrew text in Dreamweaver {subject edited by moderator}

I want to creat texts in Hebrew ,but there is no option of direction (rtl) in my version Adobe CC 2014.What I must to do please.

You probably don't have the Middle-Eastern version of DW.
Uninstall DW.
Log in to the Creative Cloud.
Select your preferred Language from tools (gear icon).
Download and re-install DW.

Hebrew Text Followed by Number

In a mixed text (English and Hebrew) if I type a hebrew word and then change the language back to English, if a number if typed - or a number with a punctuation mark, the number and mark are moved to the left of the word.
So if I wanted to type
HEBREWWORD (2 Kings) I get
2) HEBREWWORD Kings
This includes footnote numbers!
Any help on how to stop this would be appreciated.

I'm using Nisus Writer Express 2.6.1. The same thing
occurs however in TextEdit which leads me to believe
it's in Apple's layout not in the program itself.
Yes, Nisus and TextEdit use exactly the same Text Engine with the same bugs. Mellel uses its own and you should give it a try, as it is especially designed for RTL. NeoOffice uses Java so it probably works differently too. Not sure about AbiWord.

Copy/pasted hebrew text is backwards

I have a document which is mostly english with occasional hebrew words (with vowel points). When I copy/paste those hebrew words into MS Word, the direction is correct. When I copy/paste them into ID, they are backwards. I've created a 'hebrew' character style that specifies RTL and that doesn't work. I even have the ME version installed, but no luck.
Help help! THANX!

Good luck! מזל טוב!
Hans-Günter
Cute but mazel tov really means "congratulations" more than "good
luck", although that is the literal translation, e.g., "Mazel tov on the
birth of your daughter..."
"With success" בהצלחה would be a better translation of "good luck"
