Language setting Ibooks author

I have the dutch version of ibooks author (i think). I can find the language setting for text and i can change the language in OS X v 10.7 Lion.
In the wordlist the spellchecker keeps working in Dutch. Who knows how to solve this problem?

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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Does the iBooks Author support Right-to-Left languages?

    Hi,
    I wish to know if the iBooks Author support languages which are written from Right to Left, such as Arab, and Hebrew.
    Moreover, can it show those foreign letters?
    Does it look okay, or unorganized?
    And another small thing - can you upload a textbook, written by yourself, to your iPad without having a developer account?

    iBooks Author can certainly display RTL scripts, but it has various bugs which make it unsuitable for composing them for many users.  There is no setting for text direction and cursor operation is broken, making editing extremely difficult.  Copy/paste may work sometimes, but iBooks has been reported to misplace characters and have other problems.

  • How can I change the language of the quiz popup "select more answers" in iBooks author?

    Hi all,
    I am relatively new to iBooks author. I've been creating a quiz with multiple answers. When I review my iBook on my iPad and only select one answer, it shows me a popup with the text "select more answers". Does anyone know how to change the language of that box? I'm working in German, iBooks author is set to German... I just can't figure out how I can change the language of that box.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    the popup is in german, when I view the iBook on my Mac in iBooks. So maybe it's somekind of problem with a setting on my iPad? But  the language and region on the iPad is also set to german..
    Yes, what you see in the popup when viewing the book in the iBooks app is supposed to take on the language of the OS.  I don't know why it would not work on your iPad....

  • How do I set the margins for a book in ibook author

    I am fairly new to Ibooks author and am having trouble figuring out how to set my margins to follow throughout the book.  I am making the book in landscape mode and want the hardcopy version to be 11 x 8.5.  I need the left margin to be set at 2.5 and no matter what I have done it skews the following pages.  I will publish this online but since this is going to be a family history book, I am going to have to export it eventually to PDF and send it to a printer.  Does anyone know how to change these settings?

    Thank you.  I just like the possibilities associated with Ibooks author.  But I will do that and maybe later transfer that data to Ibooks.
    Thanks again.

  • (1) My iBooks Author help resources are in a foreign language. How do I change it to English? (2) Is there an iBooks Author pdf manual I can download?

    (1) My iBooks Author help resources are in a foreign language. How do I change it to English? (2) Is there an iBooks Author pdf manual I can download?

    There is no PDF available. I sent a link  to a page full of links and info not much different from the help files.
    There are many Free books in the iBooks store which will take you through the basics of iBA.
    I  like "Create your first Interactive book using iBooks Author"   its created by iBook-Widgets.com - who also  supply widgets at a price.. but the book is very free and very good.. search the iBooks store for their title.
    You cannot use iBA on an iPad, however, I also use the iPad app --  "Book Creater"   ( redjumper.net ) its very low priced around $3 or so. The people who  create it are helpful and friendly. You can distribut your books to friends and family  using  Dropbox or other cloud storage. If you want to creaet an ePub file and then upload to the iBooks store, its not difficult.  You create the book on your iPad. It is no where near as good as iBA for functionality.. but it spossible to  make really good eBooks.
    I think Applecare shoud come into effect with the language problems if it can be  found to be a glitch on the computer.  Applecare is product based and does not apply to software.
    Take it stage by stage,   visit your Apple store and   ask if they can solve the help files in langauges first, then  react to the answer, it could be they can solve the issue which leave you a clear path with iBA.
    Also you can  gather more indormation about how to use it with the help files.
    Try the info I have  included and   see how it develpops... any problems get back here and we can look for alternatives.
    try this... https://itunes.apple.com/app/id661166101?mt=8&&referrer=click%3Da63089e4-e3d4-49 e9-896a-58e0cfd50acf
    its the free version... if you like upgrade later.
    Happy New Year... hope its a good one....

  • Using keynote in ibooks author do you set slide size to 2048x1536

    For my second book I want to use the keynote widgit. If I set the slide size to 2048x1536 will that be ok for the ipad 2 and origanal ipad in addition to the new ipad? Also, when you initially bring an image (jpg) into keynote that will eventually be for import into ibooks author should it be resized to 2048x1536 just as we do when bringing one directly into ibooks author. I am using keynote 5.1.1.

  • IBooks Author, one book multiple languages!

    Hey,
    I am writing a book in iBooks author that will eventually be published in the US, Europe and Canada. It is a technical publication and while the content is identical regardless of where you are reading the book I want to be able to publish different versions to take account of regional spelling differences (Tire/Tyre, airplane/aeroplane, harbor/harbour, etc).
    What I want to do is to write the book in US English, make a copy and then be able to change the books entire language to Candadian or British English in such a way that a spellcheck will correct the words that are spelt differently in the different countries.
    The problem I see is that in the main document settings the language list only contains English and not the specific types of English I am looking for and changing the language text in every box doesnt seem to make the spellchecker work.
    Any ideas??

    What settings are those?  The Inspector has them all
    In any case, I don't think you do what you want without human editing.  The OS X spellcheckers are not good enough.

  • Support for setting up Paid book account ibook author

    I want to set up a pid book account for ibook author. did get a US EIN (I am German), got meanwhile an ISBN, and filled the form for a paid book account some 6-8 weeks ago. No response at all ydet from apple. I thenwanted to set up another account with another ID (as I am thinking my first try went into a black hole) - but then the syygtem said then my EIN was already used by another user.
    The Genius bar in my apple strore could nto help, and the support from itunes neither.
    Does anybody can give a hint whom to ask in Apple what happened?

  • IBooks or iBook Author opening page setting

    During the testing phase the book has been installed on the iPad using 'Preview'. In this mode the book always opens on the iPad with the page that was open in iBooks Author when starting the 'Preview' process.
    I am exporting the book with the 'Book Title' as the active selection on the assumption that you want this to be the startup page.
    The book has an Intro Media Video mp4v format plays in Preview mode without any issues.
    In iBooks on the iPad [first generation] I am deleting all versions of the book and previews before installing the actual exported *.ibook version.
    The issue is for what ever reason the book does not open with the Intro Media Video perhaps it has some memory as to the last page that was opened
    for that book.
    Is this issue resolved with a setting and if so what is the magic? Cheers Ant..

    Worked on this problem for the best part of half a day. It was only resolved after I restored the iPad to factory settings and re-installed iBooks which in the scheme of things appears to be a bit drastic. Cheers Ant..

  • I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
    If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?
