InDesign Unicode support to Indian Languages

Now a days, most of the applications are supporting Unicode Indian Languages. But till today Adobe is not fully supporting this. The hyphen part is not there, some of the characters can not be typed directly, some conjuncts character do not form ... We tried to use the "Adobe World-ready single-line composer" in Paragraph style - Justification, using scripts. This is not documented any where in Adobe! It is high time that Adobe should support Indian language unicode in their applications. Many of the other application are only supporting Unicode. So please take up this as urgent one.

Try IndicPlus from MetaDesign Solutions. This is an Indian Company and may be able to help you. They had developed a composer in InDesign which they used to ship for InDesign CS2 and CS3 and then abanodoned development on it when Adobe Released World Ready Composer. IndicPlus shipped for CS4 and CS5 is now based on World Ready Composer but still thay are maintaining IndicPlus for CS2 and CS3 based on their in-house developed composer.
You can talk to them and check if they are willing to extend their previous composer and resolve some of the issues related to Indian Typography.

Is there Java support for Indian languages other than Hindi?

I'd like to use Tamil as a test language for some translated java files.
I don't know whether it is supported or not.
Alternatives are Bangla, Gujararati, Kannada, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Telugu. Are any of these supported?
I'd prefer not to use Hindi.
The only website I can find listing the languages supported is from 2003. If you have a link to a more recent one, I would appreciate it.

Locale is basically a glorified String[], so the idea that some locales are supported and others are not is sort of illusory.
Quoting from the API...
[quote begins]
Locale(String language, String country, String variant)
The language argument is a valid ISO Language Code. These codes are the lower-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-639... The country argument is a valid ISO Country Code. These codes are the upper-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-3166...
Because a Locale object is just an identifier for a region, no validity check is performed when you construct a Locale...
The Locale class provides a number of convenient constants that you can use to create Locale objects for commonly used locales...
A Locale is the mechanism for identifying the kind of object (NumberFormat) that you would like to get. The locale is just a mechanism for identifying objects, not a container for the objects themselves.
[quote ends]
In other words, if you wanted to make up your own local for the language that they speak on Planet X (Xian), you could perfectly well have a Local object for that and properties or list files for it.

Native Indian language support for Asha 501

Hi,
Can you please let me know the list of native Indian languages supported in Nokia Asha 501? Also, can I store the phone contacts in a native language? I'm more interested in knowing the list of mobiles from Nokia that support the Indian language Telugu.
Thanks,
Imtiaz.

Here, Telugu works for both the menu, for contacts, and for keyboard.
The Nokia 501 is based on a new operating system, called new Asha software platform. Previous platforms were Nokia Series 40 and Symbian/S60.
Nokia Series 40 supports Telugu as well, however, you need a firmware variant (certain product code) which includes this language. Therefore it does not make sense to post models. You need the correct product code in your device. Anyway, here is a list of phones with Series 40 and Wi-Fi …
With Symbian/S60, I have not seen any product code for Telugu.
With a Windows Phone like the Nokia Lumia 510 you would be off much better, because there, you can add languages easily via the phone menu (if you have Internet access). However, Telugu is neither supported in the menu nor as keyboard. (or I am too stupid to find it).

Unlikely, very very unlikely.

InDesign Documents in several different languages... how many versions InDesign do we need?

Hi everyone,
Pls. can you refer to my last thread about working with InDesign documents in Japanese and Arabic at
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b707dc
It was also suggested in that thread that perhaps different versions can be installed in separate user accounts on a Mac system.
We now have a lot more languages that we are working with and I am trying to figure out the MAXIMUM no. of InDesign versions that we can work with. There are NOT many times we will need to work in all of these languages so we are trying to keep costs down as much as possible. Do you think we could get by with just ONE version of InDesign and a few scripts? See this thread at
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b7cd5a/0 where there are links to some workarounds. I have not been able to access those links tho'.
Any advice you can give will be much appreciated!!! :)
Here are the languages we need to work in (as you can see...there are a BUNCH):
Dutch
English
German
Italian
Spanish
French
Hungarian
Polish
Portuguese
Turkish
Arabic
Bosnian
Croatian
Czech
Serbian
Slovak
Slovenian
Greek
Hindi
Japanese
Swedish
Danish
Finnish
Norwegian
Russian
Thanks a lot for your help:)

Hello
I have been working on Adobe Indesign CS2/CS3 from so many years and was so frustrated by it’s minimum support for Indian Languages.I intalled IndiPlus And SpellPlus Plugin provided by Metadesign Solutions. Indicplus Plug-in is capable to render complex scripts (Indian Languages and others) without error using Unicode fonts. This is the first plugin which supports typing in both Indian and Other languages using complex script in Indesign.
SpellPlus delivers the much needed spell check feature to Adobe Indesign in various Indian languages including Hindi, Tamil and Bengali etc. SpellPlus enhances the potential of Indesign by augmenting the language and spelling options available to the user It just saved me.
IndicPlus – Helps type in any Indian Language with Unicode fonts
SpellPlus – Spell Checker for various Indian Languages

Never had any problems with it. Awesome tool for Indian Languages. Has one tool for Adobe Indesign CS4 also. I will highly recommend it.

RTL & Indian Language Support for Indesign CS6 Mac

Hi,
I am using Adobe Indesign CS6 Mac version and need support to using Arabic and Indian Language Support. I am not able to write this language. When I am pasting from Word or anywhere text is going cracked.
I also learn to enable language support from Character setting but I can't find Kashidas option on my Indesign.
It will be very helpful if some one support how to enable this option or download.
Best Regards,
Rakesh

That's because Larry is correct, and Ellis is correct about you needing to take Larry's advice if you don't have the World-Ready Composer in your menu. You need something like the World Tools plugin from InTools to access the complex-script tools not available in the menus in your install of CS6.
(Or you could employ Ellis' other suggestion and move to the Cloud. But World Tools is rather less expensive in the long term.)

Adobe Reader None of the version supports Indian Language Hindi

Hi,
Can anybody tell me when Adobe Reader will support Indian Language Hindi?
The problem in detail as:
I can save MS Word 2013 file as PDF or I convert some of the report to PDf. It is perfect. But when I want to copy paste the same pdf data to MS Word or Notepad or any other editable application then data gets lost. All Garbage data is getting pasted. PDF do not retain Indian Language data like other Languages (English, Japanese, Chinese, etc.).
I am waiting for Adobe to solve this problem from the year 2006.
Please help.

Sitaram Gaikwad

More info.
I just created a Word document that had very simple sample text in davanagari (क ख ग घ ङ च छ ज) and uses the correctly set up fonts Arial Unicode MS and Mangal. Printed to Adobe PDF printer.
These are displayed correctly in Acrobat X.
They copy back to Word exactly as their original characters.
However, I have not tested with diacritics or ligatures. I can well imagine these do not travel well.

Indesign difficulty in Indian language

I purchased Id CS6 for the expanded Indian language capabilities. I am working in Gujarati and am having the following problem. In Adobe Paragraph Composer the program doesn't recognize the Gujarati half letters and sets each letter as a full letter. In Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer the half letters are recognized, but the paragraph flows right to left and I cannot make it change direction. Any advice?

This is the (now defunct) PageMaker forum. The InDesign one is here: InDesign

Indian languages support for Nokia 701

How to read different Indian languages in Nokia 701, egg like Hindi or Malayalam etc. Especially in Social or other multimedia's. Now it comes as boxes. Do we need to download any software application from nokia or third party.

Feature phones like Nokia 2700, C3 00 etc can show all Indian languages including Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, etc even though with no support for typing all languages.
Nokia 701 being a smartphone, when it was released was not supporting even Hindi language, later after software update phone supported Hindi.
It would be better to support all India languages like as feature phones does. It is cool to read news websites in our native language.
Please provide this feature in fp2.

Why no Indian language support?

Being one of the finest business device manufacturers, why RIM is not supporting Indian languages? I can view websites using OperaMini (as image). Still, the mails which I receive in Indian languages appear as blocks! It is so sad that RIM is not at all considering Indian community, may the one of the largest consumer community in the whole word..
With regards,
benny

Like said above just use you're blackberry usb cable and connect it to your computer, then download desktop manager and install a indian language support, if you want any more ideas or information try a search on Google about installing seprate langauges to a blackberry device.

Support for Malayalam language

I wish to buy a Mac. Whether there any support for Malayalam language there? If so which unicode version is using?

Good News! While reading the features of the upcoming OS X Lion, I found extended language support, including Malayalam! The fonts are probably the same as those by nickshanks, but they might be different since the original fonts were made for iOS devices.
Expanded language support
Twenty new font families for document and web display of text provide support for the most common languages in the Indian subcontinent, including Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala, and Telugu. Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Urdu, and Tamil have been expanded. And three new font families support Lao, Khmer, and Myanmar.

Problems exporting text in Indian languages

I tried exporting text in Indian languages to XML format, the resulting XML had '?' characters. The following code was used
var exporter:ITextExporter = TextConverter.getExporter(TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT);
var xmlExport:XML = exporter.export(_textFlow, ConversionType.XML_TYPE) as XML;
NOTE: The text was rendered as expected. Only the exported XML contained '?' characters.
Is there anyway to export these (see below) unicode characters to an XML without loosing the actual values.
Eg: ' हम कहाँ है?'
Thanks in Advance

How did you save the XML? Trace into the Flex console doesn't seem to support unicode.
The examples posted here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/tlf/2009/12/new-and-updated-tlf-samples.html
Contain the TextLayoutEditor example that shows exporting displaying the markup with unicode and saving it to a file. Look for FileIOHelper.as.
Hope that helps,
Richard
