Template/Theme for Right to Left (RTL) pages (Arabic)

Dear All,
Please can some one provide me with online documentation or links with detail steps to create Templates / Themes for pages to be displayed in Arabic language (Right to Left).
Thanks

Hello Arif,
>> Please can some one provide me with online documentation or links with detail steps to create Templates / Themes for pages to be displayed in Arabic language (Right to Left).
I’m afraid these are not really exist. The official documentation doesn’t include Right-To-Left references, and I’m not really familiar with any other on-line documentations that cover this issue. As far as I know, the relevant chapter in my book is the first (and probably the only) time where APEX Right-To-Left development support was covered.
The following thread can give you a hint on how to start (the CSS direction attribute) and why this is not enough. As I said before, Right-To-Left development is fully supported by APEX but it’s not that simple and can’t be covered in a single forum thread. I know I’m bias (as I wrote the book) but if you are serious about developing Right-To-Left APEX applications you should consider purchasing the book. For the long run, it will save you a lot of time (and frustration).

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've seen the notes you referred to before and so was looking for the 'arrows' button but it's not present in my version of Pages.
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?

Hi Mr_Sia and welcome to the RH community.
You could try looking at the HAT Matrix. This is a comparison

RoboHelp itself, whilst it does support over 35 different languages
does not support Persian or Arabic.

I want to view a PDF file from Right to Left (Japanese page order) in Apple Preview

I want to view a PDF file from Right to Left (Japanese page order) instead of Left to Right (English page order) when I view 2 pages. Does someone know how to do this? I think I was able to accidentally get it to work before, someone please HELP!

Sadly there's no way to do that on apple's Preview.
Adobe reader, however, has this option.

Xcelsius Support for Right to Left languages

Hi,
I'm having issues with Xcelsius and the way it handles right to left languages such as Farci.
The text is rendered properly in excel but once bound to a control (like a label) the text is displayed reversed or words are reordered.
I'm using Xcelsius Version 5.1.3.0 (SP1 FP3)
Just wondering if anyone else has had run into this issue... might keep a few brain cells of my keyboard.
Hope to hear some suggestions.
Regards,
Scott

As far as I know the number of bugs which all iWork apps have with RTL scripts has never decreased since they were released and continues to make them mostly unsuitable for Arabic/Hebrew. I would not expect Lion by itself to change any of that.
There is a fellow who has done a guide for doing Hebrew with Keynote:

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;

Right to left (RTL)

hi my freinds
dose adobe flex builder 3 support right to left direction for
controls
if it dosent
how we can solve this problem
because i need to change dir of controls from left to right
with my thanks

all you want to show on the screen is drawn by flex,
so what you could do is modify the way it draws components on
your screen by overruling the standard flex functions.
think about something like this:
override public function set initialized()
i'm sorry but i don't know how you could do that exactly.
what i do know is that's possible to overrule or extend packages.
extend packages like this:
public class ButtonBarButtonSkin extends Border
more examples on this:
http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/flexstore/srcview/index.html
in the flex store you could look at the buttonbarbuttonskin,
they overrule some standard flex functionality.
I suggest you contact a member of adobe for your question.
You said you want to use it for the middle east.. maybe a
stupid question, but aren't the people there already used to
internet and english pages where all is lined out from the left to
the right?

Customizing template/Theme for iPhone

I have to customize an existing APEX App and make it iPhone compliant.
Please let me know how to customize the template/theme to make this happen.
Would appreciate any help

1. Find a site that looks good on iPhone with similar functionality
2. Start with a single templateless page with a single HTML region with no template
3. For testing purposes, copy a static iPhone page into the HTML region
4. Make copies of each existing APEX template you are using (prefix them with iPhone or something)
5. For each of the copied templates, starting with the page template, start removing portions of markup from the html region and placing them into the templates
6. Once it's all working, make sure it bares absolutely no resemblance to the original site source html ;)
7. Publish your template for me to use
...not a quick job. Find someone who doesn't own an iPhone and bribe them to do it for you in exchange for an iPhone.

Help! The secondary click on my trackpad for right and left bottom corners stopped working after 10.9.3 update??

MacBook Air 11" 2013...did the OSX update for 10.9.3 on 5/17/14 and my secondary click on my trackpad just stopped working. Checked the system preferences and tried the other corner found it doesn't work for either bottom corners for secondary clicking. It will pull up the secondary click menu when I have the "two finger tap" option selected, but I don't use that one at all, it's not a natural function for me.
I tried doing a hard reset 3 times and that didn't do it. Then I reinstalled the combo update for 10.9.3 and that didn't work either....
... ..any ideas??
-lost without a secondary clicker

The full release of 10.9.3 is available from App Store now. You can re download the full version from your Purchase tab in App Store. After download there will be Install OSX Maverics in Applications folder. Before installing OSX on top of the one on your system, copy the a install aoSX Mavericks to your external drive or any location. You can copy it to Applications folder for reinstall after that if you want.
The new download will be 10.9.3. Before doing so, please try to boot into safe boot, by holding shift key and power on. Try your secondary mouse click to see if it work. If it is the same, then it will be driver corruption, try reinstall will help.

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?

Alonreg wrote:

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.

Thanks Patrick. The xml file is huge and I have read through it (more or less). Not that I could really detect any problem, as I am not sure what I am really looking for. The only thing that looked a bit dodgy is this
<videoFormatOptions>********CYe****3bBkR4lYRaBk*******M***1zk***-FoQ57g*******N************44FmMLE** ***********************14BhNb7VQ5-g****IaBYNKA********************yQqJVPU****2** **0*********-JkQaxb*****E***************-IlBbUt*****E***********E****lkQqNm***** *****ZWNb7V******dhQ4Jn*******QO43mN*******************************0bBYPaI****** **</videoFormatOptions>
Does that look right? All I have is a motion graphics sequence with RTL & LTR languages, is mainly animated text with some photos fading in and out. It is set to be widescreen format.
I am not really sure what to do. I have managed to redo a section again (from start) but then Motion keeps on crashing on me. I think it does not like the combination of LTR and RTL languages.
I can't uninstall and re-install now, as I am in the middle of 3 projects with Motion FCP.
Oh boy, I am in trouble...

How to use math symbols in a right to left text properly?

Hey there
When I write a simple mathematical equation or a number(which has sign) in the middle of a right to left text in a text box(I simply set keyboard language to EN for typing expressions & numbers) it's like mathematical symbols are somehow not considered math symbols and that's weird since in word it's not that way, take the following sentence for example that means result of the 0-127 expression is -127:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- است.
In word I can type it just fine(for typing expressions and numbers I set keyboard language to EN) but when I type it the same way in adobe acrobat I get this:
حاصل عبارت 0-127 برابر -127 است.
copy & paste from word also doesn't do any help, so If I want to get it right I should type math expressions from right to left meaning as instance to type 0-127 I should first type 127 then - and finally 0 also should type digits of a number before typing its sign as example for typing -127 I should first type 127 then - ,now I wonder is it the way acrobat works or I'm doing something wrong.
By the way OMG o_O even when I did copy & paste my messasge from word to the text box of forum for posting, it ended up treating math parts in upper right to left paragraph the same way as acrobat I just had to write them from right to left!
Anyone has any idea?
Message was edited by: Pooria

In a word document I wrote:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- اسـت
Then tried printing it using "Adobe PDF" printer, in output pdf that sentence was written in right order and interestingly it was broken into three text boxes thanks for reply.

Vertical Right-to-Left Text?

How can I enter vertical text that reads right-to-left in Pages? This is the traditional way of writing for some languages such as Japanese. This is trivial to do in Microsoft Word. There must be a way to do this in Pages. Can anyone help?

Tom Gewecke wrote:
Pages doesn't have that capability. Aside from Word, I think the only apps that might are iText/Lightway Text, Neo/OpenOffice, QuarkExpress 8, and the Japanese version of Adobe InDesign.
Yes, that is more or less my list as well. Last time I went to Japan, I tried to get hold of a copy of the discontinued Japanese word processor Egword, but failed. I asked one of the shopkeepers in Akihabara if there were no commonly used alternatives to MS Word 2008 for the Mac, and got the unusually clear answer "No".
The Japanese version of MS Word has the advantage over Western versions that it automatically proposes the hiragana when you add ruby text. I do not think that works in any of the Western versions, even if Japanese features are switched on.
In addition the Japanese version contains all (?) the Western dictionaries and proofing tools, like "French Grammar", "Nynorsk Hyphenation" and "German Thesaurus" and all that.
Provided you are able to read the Japanese text in the menus and dialogues, the Japanese version of MS Word is a fairly good investment.
By the way, last time I checked, only the English and Japanese versions of MS Word did vertical text and ruby. The French and German and the other ones do not. I think.

After Effect CS3 Right To Left Lanuage

Hi all,
I want to know if there is a version of AFCS3 that support right to left languages like: Arabic; I've downloaded the trail version and the Arabic language is not supported.
Regards,
Pos

Yes, just like for Asian languages there is a version for this out there. If it's not included in the trail, contact support and they will provide you with directions on how to obtain it. If you don't need this every day, you may also get along with adjusting your system's langauge settings and using suitable OpenType fonts.
