How to setup language on iBooks Author

Hi,
I just started using iBooks Author and I am starting my book in spanish.  Does anyone knows how to change the language?  Everything is showing marked in red and I have no way of doing spelling.  The only option is English and if I change language and text on the settings it only changes the toolbar in Spanish.  Please help.
Thanks

English initially but when I change to Spanish
The place where you have to change to Spanish is Inspector > Text > More > Language.  Have you done that?  Also you would probably want to set up a style where that setting is Spanish and then switch to it when you are using that language.

  • Can you write other asian language in iBooks Author?

    I would like to write a book in Urdu, just wondering if I can add a langauge to my iMac and write in that language using iBooks Author? Thanks for help in advance.

    You can create Urdu text by just going to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and using the plus and add buttons to add the Urdu keyboard and then selecting it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and then typing.
    But you will probably find that iBooks Author does not support RTL text very well.
    The big problem is that Apple's iBookstore does not yet accept Urdu books.  You really need to put your book in some other store and use an app which creates whatever format that store requires.

    What is the problem exactly?  You have selected the text and set the Language to English in the Inspector but it keeps checking the text as if it were Dutch?

  • How can I transfer an iBook Author book via a PC?

    Hello
    I designed an iBook via iBooks Author for a friend and want to send it to her to preview.  She has an iPad but only a PC computer.
    How can I send her a proof so she can view it on her iPad?
    Thanks for your help.

    Both open a Dropbox free account - upload your book to Dropbox and create a download link - email the link to  your friend - she can download  to the Dropbox on her iPad and when clicked to open -  it offeres an "Open in iBooks" - and  from iBooks it can  be seen.   If this is a beta version, I would  tell your friend to delete it before downloading the next version.  Its not needed and  can cause  problems with which  version  is seen.
    No solution for PC.

  • How do I become an iBooks Author

    How do I get an account

    See this link from Apple:

    ...and know that iBooks Author is a free download and there are no fees to get into the program/store, but if you intend to work with 'paid' books in the store you will need to buy digital ISBN-13s - these are not free...Google is your friend for ISBN-13 sources.
    Good luck w/your book(s).

  • Does anyone know how to add Audio to iBooks Author and Loop it continuously

    I need to Loop a 2 second piece of audio in iBooks Author.  When I Preview it on my iPad it doesn't Loop correctly.  Can anyone please help me with this strange problem.
    Thanks in advance.  David

    Hi K T,
    Still having lots issues with Looping.  Was wondering if you were able to import any short drum loop for example from Garage Band or Logic or similar into iBooks Author and select the Loop option.  Do you get a gap or buffering effect before the audio repeats?  I've tried so many different audio types now and think it must be a bug with iBooks.  The gap only occurs when opened or played in iBooks.  I just want to confirm that it's not just my system that has the problem.  I have tried it on iPad 2 and iPad with Retina, but not iPad Air.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks David

    It certainly will not be blank if you leave it there.  You have to at least click on it and hit the Delete key.
    Templates with dummy text are only a couple pages long, after that you can insert blank pages

  • How to setup WRT54G to iBook Airport, but has no ethernet cable port

    I am trying to help a friend who broke her ethernet port plug. She has an iBook 600 running OS X Panther 10.3.9.
    She bought an Airport card and installed it.
    Bought the Linksys WRT54G wireless dsl router, but cannot get it going with her dsl because linksys setup CD only wants to install windows "exe" files.
    Can she directly access the router just from Safari web browser by using the 192.168.1.1 / user blank / pw admin, and then go through setting up a WPA connection and wpa security manually?
    Or does she have to have an ethernet connection first?
    (if she must have ethernet cable connection, then she is, up creek with no boat and no paddle)
    Thank you.
    Best.

    Correct... in more specific terms... click on the airport icon.. search for the default SSID( or wireless network name) and connect to it... once you are connected and have verified that you have a valid IP... then your all set to access the 192.168.1.1 page and configure the DSL and Internet.
    For the wireless settings and WPA though, as per the last post... almost every single data you change there will kick you off the wireless network and you have to reconnect again...
    For example, since you were connected to linksys (unsecured)... the moment you change this SSID to a personalized one... say myfriend101... you'd be off the router UI after you save the settings... so you have to reconnect manually again to myfriend101 (unsecured) again... once you are connected to this... and then decide to put say WPA security.. you'd get kicked off again the moment you save... (you get the pattern)...

  • How to create pages in ibooks author

    I just got feedback from iTunes saying that my book has no visible pages in portrait mode. I created the book in landscape but i wouldn't mind it being in both formats. When i go to portrait mode I can't find a way to add a page or see the pages I created. How do you make pages in portrait mode?

    Layout your book in landscape orientation - edit contents in portrait.
    Use the toolbar to toggle between them.
    Be sure to preview your book on your iPad in both.
    If for some reason you only want to support landscape, use the Inspector/Document tab and select/check [ √ Disable portrait orientation ]

  • How can people without Macs use iBooks Author?

    Hi,
    How can PC people use iBooks Author?
    Thanks,

    iBooks Author is a Mac only application. As of now there is no Windows' version available.

  • Apple iBooks Author is not a print production tool-

    I was really impressed with Apple's release of iBooks Author App and I'm sure I will get a secondary drive to be bootable with Lion so that I can install this new free app, that only runs in Mac OS X Lion.  But, as long as I am producing books for the printing press, before they go to eReader, InDesign will have to be my tool of choise so that all of my work that was put into the book production can be repurposed to the e-reader version.
    Sorry that I'm not posting an InDesign question.  I'm just sharing some thoughts with my community.
    I'm getting ready to upgrade from InDesing CS 4 to InDesign CS5.5.

    iWeb is template based and Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG graphical web editor. iWeb is the fry cook of the web world with Dreamweaver the fast food middle manager of the web world. In most cases you aren't going to get haute cuisine out of Dreamweaver, that's where your IDE's and scripting languages shine.
    iBooks author is essential the same thing as Microsoft Publisher, but built exclusively for getting content into Apple's iBooks2 and iTunes U applications. One can build a bunch of equity in Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, images and spit them into Publisher or iBooks Author with minimum reformatting and maintain the magic that those applications have.
    InDesign allows you to leverage graphical equity from existing print layouts and publish to a few more output directions. Getting existing Powerpoints, Excel documents, Word Documents misused as layouts and the like is not something one can easily accomplish in InDesign. You can get your InDesign documents wrapped into Adobe's viewer and push out to Android, iOS and other platforms provided you pay Adobe either a grip of cash or a small amount of cash every time you want the document updated.
    For the everyday student, professor, office worker or anybody who doesn't already have a strong investment in Adobe and InDesign it is a no brainer to go the iBooks Author route. Apple's iPad and iOS have a commanding lead in marketshare and a staggering lead in revenue spent on content per device. Many people aren't putting effort forth on Android or other devices still (though the Kindle Fire may change that). For the purpose of taking something that is free, publishing for free to the over 40 million devices out there iBooks is a much more attractive route for many than Zinio, Woodwing, DPS, paying a developer.

  • 360 panoramas in ibook authoring.  Is there any widget already available?

    I would like to publish a ibook with immersive panoramas.  I know how to display them on the web with HTML5 but I have no idea how to do it in iBook author.  Ihave done a search on the web but cannot find much.  Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic?

    This will allow you to create panorama and output to html5. You can then package as a widget and use in iBooks.
