Right-to-left character direction

Trying to enable the right to left character direction on CC 2014. It shows up under the Type menu drop down, but it's grayed out. Anyone know how to make this feature active?

Right-to-left text direction missing in Indesign CC 9.2

I'm trying to localize an English file to Arabic. According to some of Adobe help files there should be text direction in the Paragraph menu but I don't see them. The "Reverse Layout" option that is available in InDesign CS5 ME is not available in InDesign CC. How can I reverse the layout in InDesign CC and how can add the text direction buttons. I'm sure they are not there so do I need to download something additional.
Please help!

You need to download and install the English-Hebrew or English-Arabic version. In the CC Desktop App you can click the gear icon and change the language to access them.

How do I switch to right to left writing direction?

In pages there is an option in the text layout section, however I cannot find it in keynote.

Pages v5.5.2 - Missing Option for right-to-left languages (bi-directional) such as Arabic & Kurdish

Started using Pages as Windows for Mac does not support right-to-left languages (Kurdish, Arabic) effectively. BUT, sadly disappointed that Pages does not seem to support right-to-left (bi-directional) text either. I realise it gives you the option of aligning the text to the right-hand side but this is different from having the right-to-left option. Previous posts said it could be found under Format - Text and there should be the option 'Reverse Text Direction' (see related thread here) but in the version I have (v5.5.2) I can't see it.
Please can anyone help? I'm having to seriously think about going back to Windows as Apple doesn't provide sufficient support for right-to-left languages.

I think perhaps something is wrong with your machine. See below a picture of mine. Do you have the Arabic or some other RTL keyboard showing in the "flag" menu at the top right?

Right to Left text

Hey, does anyone know why I can't see a right-to-left text direction button on my InDesign CC?
I'm using the Adobe World-Ready Paragrah Composer.
Thanks!

Well, if you are using Windows, its the CC app in your notification area in the lower-right-hand corner of your screen. You click on that, then on the gear icon in its upper-right-hand corner, then click on Preferences. Then you choose Apps, then there's an Apps Language dropdown.
Sorry, I assume you can log into creative.adobe.com and do it there as well, but I have no idea what the step-by-step instructions are for doing it that way.

Reliably calculating character bounds for Right-To-Left languages using flash.text.engine.* classes?

I just filed a bug in the Adobe bugbase about this, but I thought maybe the community could help with a workaround (or point me in another direction if I'm looking at it wrong).
I don't know an elegant way to describe the defect, but it's something like this:
Create a Vector of ContentElements and add a TextElement containing a right-to-left string in a language such as Hindi (ex. "वह बाग़ में दोपहर का खाना ")
Create a TextBlock with a GroupElement and use it to create a TextLine to display the right-to-left string
Walk through each character in the right-to-left string and try to calculate its boundaries using the TextLine's "getAtomBounds" method.
What I'm seeing in my test project is that the number of characters (atoms?) the TextLine reports is fewer than the number of characters that were in the original string. I was under the impression that TextLine would offer some method of automatically converting from a logical character index into a display index (to keep things simpler for the end user). That doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't see any way to use TextLine's methods to do that conversion.
Am I overlooking something obvious?

Update: I was missing something obvious!
It seems like TextLine's getAtomTextBlockBeginIndex and getAtomTextBlockEndIndex methods were exactly what I was looking for. It just took me a while to find them and realize that. So to convert from a logical (unicode) character index to a display (atom) index, you can do this...
private function getCharBounds( charIndex:int ):Rectangle {
     for ( var childIndex:int = 0; childIndex < textContainer.numChildren; childIndex++ ) {
          var textLine:TextLine = textContainer.getChildAt( childIndex ) as TextLine;
          for ( var atomIndex:int = 0; atomIndex < textLine.atomCount; atomIndex++ ) {
               var charIndexRangeStart:int = textLine.getAtomTextBlockBeginIndex( atomIndex );
               var charIndexRangeStop:int = textLine.getAtomTextBlockEndIndex( atomIndex );
               if ( charIndex >= charIndexRangeStart && charIndex <= charIndexRangeStop ) {
                    var rectangle:Rectangle =
                         textLine.getAtomBounds(
                              atomIndex );
                    var point:Point =
                         textContainer.globalToLocal(
                              textLine.localToGlobal(
                                   new Point( rectangle.x, rectangle.y ) ) );
                    rectangle.x = point.x;
                    rectangle.y = point.y;
                    return rectangle;
     return null;

Rotating 10 number form right to left direction....Urgent

Hello All,
I am new to Java3D.
I am facing some problem from long time in some visual effects.
Recently I heard about Java3D and I think its better to ask help through this site.
Here is the problem that I am facing.
I am designing one site.
On which the client wants to kept some animation images.
As there company had already completed 10 years and he want to put 10years animation on there site.
So is there a possibility to make the 10 years animation using Jave3D.
What I have to do is I have to rotate 10 number from right to left continuously. What I mean is
At starting 10 number had to display.
Next 10 number have to start rotating from right direction 10--->
Next 10 number have to view its back side after some moment as 01
Next after some moment it have to come to its origional direction from left hand side as -->10
So that the viewer can feel that 10 is rotating from right direction to left direction.
---------> 10 ---------->
I know that there are too many graphic tools to develop this, but due to limitations in budget I have to complete with coding itself.
Hope You all understood my problem and I will get the solution through all of you.
Can any one suggest what to do, or coding if any.
Thanks,
RajivChowdary.

Hello All,
One of our friends didn't get what I am asking (with subject :- Rotating 10 number form right to left direction....Urgent), that's why I am explaining my problem again.
Number (like 9 or 10 or 11 or...) has to rotate in 360 degrees.
We are all familiar with rotating " 3D gif's" like rotating globe and email rotating in 360 degrees.
Like wise I want to rotate numbers in 360 degrees using java3D.
Set area size with 100 X 130 with some background color and 10 number with stand-alone position.
Then 10 number have to start rotating in 360 degrees, starting from right direction to left direction, within the same place.
And this process has to be going on until next page has called.
This animation had to be placed before the company logo, notifying that out company had completed 10 years.
I know that there are too many graphic tools to develop this, but due to limitations in budget I have to complete with coding itself.
Hope You all got my problem.
So please suggest or instructions what to do, or coding if any.
Please explain in detail, because I am new to java3D
Thanks,
RajivChowdary.

Direction in right to left languages

Hi,
When we switch the portal to Arabic the portal pages (for example portal builder pages) successfully shows the pages direction from right to left by adding <body dir="rtl"> at the top of the page.
But when we create a new page this will not happen in Arabic language and the dir="rtl" is not added automatically to the top of these pages!
Should we set any properties? Should we make any changes to the page template, style ...
Thanks

This is not the right forum for your question. Try to post it in the Portal General forum, or contact Oracle Support.

How can set direction right to left for horizontal text area

I want set direction right to left for horizontal text area
to view right to left String Type

I don't know that there is such a thing as right to left
String Type (I can't find one at least). I am assuming this
involves some language where printed materials are read from right
to left.
Before I try to offer a solution though, it will be helpful
to know more about that text area. Is the intention to type into
the text area or to load a string into it?
And if you are loading a string into it, is the string
already right to left?

My apple wireless mouse scrolls in the opposite direction. When I scroll up, down, right and left it always scrolls the opposite direction. Can anyone help?

Hi Malky H.,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
You can find this information here:
OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.

Navigate menu does not function from right to left direction

My navigate bars work fine from left to right, but when you go the opposite way (right to left direction) or not in sequential order, the current page on the screen remains.
I have to click on the upper left arrow in Safari to make the navigation work from the right to leftward direction. I would also like the user to be able to click on any navigation bar out of sequence.
This is a very simple site with only 3 static pages.

I suspect that there is something on your Links page in iWeb which is overlapping the navigation bar and preventing the menu items from working.

Changing directions for the Horizontal slideshow from left to right or right to left?

Hi,
How do I change directions for the Horizontal slideshow from left to right or right to left?
Thanks,
Jay

I am also in need of help with this issue. Also it would be nice to have vertical slideshows coming from upwards to downwards.
A script override may solve the issue perhaps. Any help would be appriciated.
