In Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and OneNote, the Mini Translator displays the translation of one word as you point at it with your cursor. You can also copy the translated text to the Clipboard, paste it into another document, or play a pronunciation of the translated word.


To translate text directly in a browser, you can use Bing Translator. Powered by Microsoft Translator, the site provides free translation to and from more than 70 languages. To learn more, see Translating text using Translator.

Hi! I am working on putting Arabic text into an InDesign document that is currently in English. I've switched my Language preferences to English/Arabic and reinstalled the InDesign app. I'm trying to copy, cut and paste the Arabic translation from Word into the InDesign document, but when I paste the selected text it shows up as blank. Any help troubleshooting is much appreciated as I have limited experience with InDesign. Thanks!


I'm doing a translation from English to Arabic and have had the copy supplied in a word doc. When I paste or place copy into indesign it is flowing the wrong way. I've followed your instructions so I have the ME type tool etc. What am I doing wrong? Also the same font looks different in the different programmes - is it still legible?

I hope you see this, I know your post was from last year.

Thank you

Jill


Maybe this sentance explains my problem better. You can see the words in English don't appear in the same position in the InDesign doc than the word doc. Making me think the sentance is back to front in terms of words. I'm making the assumption that the word doc reads in the correct order so my InDesign doc needs to look the same, albeit in a slightly different font.


Hi Manal, that's really helpful thank you but I still don't have those options. I'm using Indesign 16.0.1 so I guess I need to go back a few versions. Does anyone know *which* version? There's so many now


With any version you use you should find these options, from your screen shot, your copy do not support arabic, ho ba k tomy answer and choose يدعم العربية from cc preferences. And uninstall and reinstall.. make sure to temove the app shortcuts.


This is so weird. After being so frustrated I changed my language back to english international in creative cloud, then deleted all the apps and changed the language again in english arabic, restarted my laptop, and installed all the apps again.

Now it all suddenly works?!

Maybe another re-install helped, I don't know. I did all the settings you suggested the first time and the text kept being like mirrored. After this second install I don't even have to do the settings again, the text adjust itself perfectly after I paste it in indesign. Maybe it kept my settings from the first try? No idea.

Thanks anyways for your very clear instructions Manal!


I have a magento CMS ecommerce based group buying deals website based in UAE and my developers have coded it in a way to send out PDF coupon vouchers in Arabic language to customers who bought the deal.


The problem is that the characters inside the PDF look very akward! They are disjointed and not connected together and they are displayed in a reversed order which can only be readable from left to right. So in other words the coupon vouchers in Arabic look extremely messy!


From what I see, it is not related to PDF or Acrobat, your CMS system may not support Arabic fully or it's not PDFing in the right way. The developers need to look into this matter, but I apologies for not having any suggestions for them.


If you can't get the people who designed your coupon to fix the problems, you can save the PDF as a Microsoft Word document and edit in an Arabic version of Word. Word should have proper Arabic fonts and right to left text flow. Then you convert to PDF from Word's Acrobat tab. It is not the best answer, but if you cannot go back to the place that designed your coupon, you may have to redo it in a proper editor and export it to PDF.


Even Searching in Chrome PDF viewer is done properly ... While in Acdobe Reader and also MS Explorer & Edge the text is extracted in REVERSED order .. even highlighting text is a BIG MESS in these products .. while i Chrome things go very smoothly


@Yamani_De you are right, i also have the same issue when i convert pdf files into excel, the arabic language displayed in reverse mode and i think that this problem must be solved in the acrobat software


Thousands of Arabic Acrobate PDF users are comlaining about the SAME EXACT thing: disjoint Arabic letters. Adobe Need to FIX this coronic problem. Stop beating around the bush and start fixing.


I believe this is a compiling issue with the program and PDF, I have the same challenge before. On our system we can write Arabic letters with no problem at all, but when we export report to PDF , pdf reverses the letter and separated the arabic letter.


See, I know Acrobat has issues with Arabic in some aspects, however whether we are on Mac or PC, we're generating PDF with Arabic content for decades now using Microsoft Office (Mac lately), Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, AutoCAD, and from web pages. These PDFs with Arabic content has been the standard media in printing industry with no issues apart from common problems not related to Arabic language.


Original Poster is using a specific Content Management System where they generate PDFs from it. OP didn't come back to tell us how he is generating the PDF from their CMS, but you may tell us how you're doing it, and only this way we can judge if it is an Acrobat issue or not.


Even in Microsoft SharePoint .. when Searchable PDFs with Right-to-Left scripts ( such as Arabic) , are indexed .. SharePoint only recognizes reversed text .. and shows search preview with weirdly reversed text ...


this is surely rooted to the Filter that Microsoft bundles with SharePoint .. that filter is suffering from the same issues that are shown in Adobe Reader + Internet Explorer & MS Edge ... While Google's Chrome does not show such issues and handles right-to-left words properly


Ziad, for someone who comments a lot in this thread with a title 'expert', you failed to present a solution to our common problem. Either you don't have the solution or that your corporate interests require that you don't share it with us. Thanks for nothing.


@THinkFirst ... We're proud of our language ... the richest in the world .. living for more than 2000 years ..

We Arabs inveted the decimal system ... that is the basis of building the civilized world ... while & your people were living in caves ... and spending your time hunting & fighting ...


I have the same problem when converting a PDF file containing arabic words to Excel using EXPORT PDF from within Adobe Acrobat Reader DC , after buying the annual subscription. The resulted excel file contained the arabic words in a messy form. The arabic letters were disjointed and inverted (from left to right).


I converted the file into Word (.docx) file by EXPORT PDF also, and the resulted file was in a very acceptable way, that means the arabic words were in the right direction and the letters were jointed.


I am getting more confused; let me clarify what I want. I want to translate a document from one language to another. So, my question is: Do I need to send its text and then get back the translated text? Or can I upload the whole document and get back the translated document in the same format that I uploaded? I understand that I can get the translated text, but can I send the document and get the translated document? Thank you.
