InDesign Middle Eastern (English interface) version

InDesign Middle Eastern - English interface version. Will it work for standard Western English as well? Will it work left-to-right as well as right to left? Will the resultant InDesign files be openable by another user with a standard Western English version of InDesign? Are there any other issues that I should be aware of, such as when generating PDFs or printing?

Will it work for standard Western English as well? Will it work left-to-right as well as right to left?
Yes.
The Middle Eastern version of InDesign is fully capable of producing "standard" English LTR layouts as well as ME RTL layouts.
Will the resultant InDesign files be openable by another user with a standard Western English version of InDesign?
Yes.
Since CS4, both the RTL and LTR layout of InDesign ME can be opened by the non-ME version (or the "standard Western English version" as you refer to it) since all the RTL functionallty set to the document by the ME version is supportted by the non-ME version.
Are there any other issues that I should be aware of, such as when generating PDFs or printing?
Nothing special I can think of.

Request for feature of Next Version of Indesign Middle Eastern Version

For Adobe Team,
Request for Feature of Next Version of Indesign Middle Eastern Version
About Character and Paragraph Style Sheet in Next Version of Adobe Indesign Middle Eastern Version
Make an option for Latin Font style and Unicode/arabic font style.
We have work in both language English and Arabic or Urdu with same document or same paragraph.
For Guidence see this image of InPage Urdu Programme.
Thanks
Safwan

Ooh, InPage! I'm so glad that I don't have to work in InPage anymore.
However, that feature that you're looking for was actually a good one. It won't do you any good to ask for it here, though; you want to go straight to WinSoft. They make the ME edition, not Adobe.
However: World Tools suite from in-tools.com has the feature "Apply Latin Character Style" which does what you want, more or less. The main paragraph style would be an Urdu RTL style, unlike your InPage example. Unfortunately, going in "the other direction" World Tools only has "apply Hebrew character style." It's still worth a look for you, I think.

InDesign Middle Eastern: Hebrew vowels under resh and dalet. Accents collide with vowels

I am using InDesign CS3 Middle Eastern. When importing Hebrew text from Microsoft Word formated with quality fonts such as SBL Hebrew, I have two problems:
1. Vowels under the letters resh and dalet do not appear under the vertical stroke of the letter but centered in the middle of the letter width. In Microsoft Word they appear in the right position, just under the vertical stroke of the consonants. See the image.
2. Accents (cantillation) appear in some cases on the vowels (mixed with the vowel); the OpenType features that make the vowel move to the right to allow enough space for the accent do not work. See the image.
Please, could anybody tell me, whether these problems have been solved in later versions of InDesign Middle Eastern?

If you are in fact using an OpenType font that supports advanced
diacritic placement and substitution, you can enable that by going to
the flyout menu of the control panel and finding the "diacritic
positioning" palette. There, in the dropdown, should be the option to
choose OpenType positioning.
I'm presuming this was available in CS3, but I can't actually remember
for sure.

Adobe CS5.5 no Middle Eastern English Arabic download

When i go to download Adobe CS6 here Download CS6 products
the Middle Eastern English Arabic is available
but when i want to download Adobe CS5.5 here Download CS5.5 products
the Middle Eastern English Arabic is not available
why its not there and from should i get it ?

Hamood_d10 if you made you purchase from Adobe directly, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then please see Find a download link on Adobe.com for information on how to download your purchased software.
If you received the software on DVD and your current computer does not have an optical drive then you will want to copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does have a USB drive. You can then install from the USB drive.
Finally if you need to locate your registered serial number please see Find your serial number quickly.

Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern CS6

Hi
Where is the link to Adobe InDesign Middle Eastern CS6 Trial Download?
Thank you

There are a lot of easy scripting solutions.
You can type your hebrew forward and then select it and then run this script
app.selection[0].contents=app.selection[0].contents.split("").reverse().join("")
before
after
There are better ways of doing this but I'm scared Harb's will beat me up or even worse not answer my questions on the forum so you should go for In-Tools plug in.
It seems that one can get creative cloud in Israel now and if not it must be coming very soon as the adobe Israel site is full of it.
If you have a US, UK etc. address then you can for sure sucribe to it from Israel.

English interface for InDesign Middle East, non-CC version?

Hi-
I currently have InDesign CS6, the non-Creative Cloud version. I frequently receive and work with translated InDesign documents in Arabic, so I would like to use the Middle East version. However, I don't read Arabic, so the interface needs to be in English.
Does the non-CC version of InDesign CS6 ME have an English interface option?

Any idea where I can buy this product within the US, with a discount for educational institutions (K-12)?
You can contact adobe customer support.
But for personal use you can order indesign cs6 from adobe.com, the price 699$

InDesign Middle Eastern CS4 copy/paste problem

Hey guys,
I usually work on the US version of InDesign CS4 on a Mac... But for a series of projects I need to do for Dubai, I am using the ME InDesign CS4 on PC.
Sigh.
Now, my problem is, when I copy/paste what our translator sent us from WordPad (I don't have Word installed on the PC side ) It is flipping my text around.
Now, I bought the ME version of InDesign to avoid this problem, as I knew it would be a problem with the US version... So what am I doing wrong? I was following this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/450951) and feel like I have the exact same problem that person had, all the way through to the end.
Can someone further help me out? I need to be able to use this... I have to send everything to press next week!! (eek!)
Thanks,
Jenn
FYI--I am trying to use Arabic.

First of all, you can (should) place the text. Why are you copy/pasting?
Make sure your text is set to use the World-Ready Composer. If the
document started its life in InDesign US, the default composer is
going to be the non-World-Ready one.

Trouble updating to v11.03 for Dreamweaver CS5 ME (Middle Eastern)

I have Dreamweaver CS5 Middle Eastern edition, I'm trying to update to version 11.03 (found on the Dreamweaver Support Center)
http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html
But when I try to update it says that the update is not applicable.
I assume it's not for the ME edition. And the Update check from within Dreamweaver says it's up to date.
Does anyone know if it's possible to update the ME edition to v11.03?
Thanks.

Hi,
did you consider that (might be important for you): "For example, you can't use the Middle Eastern updater with a non-Middle Eastern ... version number on Windows by selecting the Help > About Dreamweaver, ..."
... and this here for some generally informations http://www.adobe.com/support/updaters/terms.html

InDesign version with English menus and Middle Eastern production capabilities

I need a version of InDesign CC that has English menus and Middle Eastern (Arabic & Farsi) book production capabilities. I've spoken with 5 Adobe support techs but I've not yet received a download link.

Do you have the Creative Cloud app installed? Click on the settings "gear" in the upper-right-hand corner, go to Preferences, choose Apps, and then select "English (الشرق الأوسط)". Then when you download InDesign you'll get the Middle East edtion with English menus and controls for spine-right binding, kashidas, text direction, et cetera.

How can I download the extended Middle Eastern version of inDesign, called "Tasmeem"?

Hello everyone,
I would love it if someone tells me how can I download the extended ME version of inDesign, it is called "Tasmeem" and it is made for Arabic Calligraphy.
thank you,
Rayan.

Peter, Tasmeem is not just the regular ME edition of InDesign. I think
it is an InDesign extension published by Winsoft, the French company who
originally developed the Middle Eastern version of InDesign before Adobe
took it over.
So the OP should probably check out the Winsoft website to see if it's
still available, and for which versions of InDesign.

Where can I find the CC upgrade for the Middle Eastern version of InDesign?

I'm a current Creative Cloud subscriber and would like to upgrade from the CS6 version of InDesign to the new, CC version. However, I am using the Middle Eastern (ME) version instead of the default. When I navigate to the "Download Center" on the Creative Cloud website, I can only find - what appears to be - the download for the standard version.
Can someone point me in the direction, or share a link, to the InDesign ME CC upgrade?
Thank you, in advance, for your time and help.

Is that "preferences" on the Creative Cloud page somewhere, within InDesign itself, or somewhere else?
I'm guessing it's inside of the InDesign CC program itself, as I don't see it on the website anywhere.

Adobe InDesign CS4 ME (Middle Eastern Version) AND fonts

hello,
does someone know, which Fonts are in "Adobe Indesign CS4 ME (middle eastern version)" out-of-the-box (without Tasmeem!)?
We have real trouble to find out in advance, what kind of fonts are included or supported (or not).
thank you.
knuth

I'm not 100% sure on this answer, but this should at least be helpful:
The fonts in the InDesign fonts folder in CS4 are:
AlQudsWide_Bold.otf
Hasan_Hiba_Alef.otf
EMIRI.otf
Basim_Marah_Beh.otf
Nassim-Semibold.otf
Arabetics_Mehdi.otf
Nassim-Bold.otf
AlQudsWide_Regular.otf
Nassim-Medium.otf
DT_Qarandash_Beh.otf
NASKRG.otf
Nassim-Regular.otf
Hasan_Noor_Alef.otf
Nassim-Heavy.otf
There are others in the Adobe general fonts folder (most notably the extended family of Boutros Ads Pro), but I don't know if this was installed by CS4 or a previous version of InDesign. Here's a screenshot of the Arabic fonts currently installed on my system (none of them were purchased, and probably mostly installed by one of the Creative Suites).

InDesign CS6 Middle Eastern Version an 32 bit

1. I want to purchase InDesign CS6 Middle Eastern Version, but I cannot find this version on the Adobe Web site under the "Buy" tab. Where can I purchase it?
2.Does InDesign CS6 run under Windows 7 32 bit or I need to install the Windows 64 bit version?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you can find it if you switch to one of the online Adobe stores in the Middle East region, and yes, it will run on 32-bit.

Middle Eastern versions

Hallo people from Adobe or whoever can help us in this matter.
Previously, Middle Eastern versions were supported by third-party companies (WinSoft).
In CS6, Adobe has taken over development, support, and sales of such versions.
However they have not been released yet (at least not all of them). Although the underlying support for RtL languages (right to left languages including Hebrew and Arabic) is in all CS6 language versions of InDesign (World-Ready Composition) but unless you have the ME version, it is not directly accessible.
At least I can confirm that Adobe InDesign CS6 ME and Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 ME are released.
You can download the trial version of them from here:
http://www.adobe.com/mena_ar/downloads.html
My Questions:
What about Adobe Illustrator CS6 ME?
Will Adobe build the RTL support also in other Adobe products such as Premiere or After Effeckt?
Thanks

Hi Guy,
I know there have been improvements related to middle eastern support of text with this release, per the system requirements for all three of the products you mentioned.
* Arabic and Hebrew supported in a Middle Eastern version with full right-to-left language support, Arab/Hebrew features, and an English interface; also in a North African French (Francais*) version with full right-to-left language support, Arab/Hebrew features, and a French interface
I don't believe Creative Cloud Membership is available in Israel unfortunately, in the FAQ see this question
In what countries can I buy a membership to Creative Cloud?
Hope that helps,
-Dave

Does the IE CS6 version have Support for the Middle Eastern tool set? - left to right typing etc.

Does the IE CS6 version have Support for the Middle Eastern tool set? - left to right typing etc.

I assume IE means International English, as opposed to English North America (aka US English). There is Middle Eastern and Hebrew support via an English user interface for programs that support it such as InDesign.
You can change the install language by launching the Adobe Application Manager and clicking on your name in the top left to bring up a context menu. From the menu select Preferences and then click the drop down for Languages. See the screen shot below:
