    Correct answer Zaid Al Hilali

    im wondering how i can type fluent in arabic in indesign without having the windows and desktop all in arabic. can anybody help me?

     


    Youssef, no need to have your Windows Interface in the Arabic Language. It is enough to have Arabic Language kit installed so that Windows OS allow you to type Arabic in any supported application.

     

    This way, your OS menus will display in English but the system supports Arabic.

    Marhaba Yara,

    Arabic support exists in Illustrator 2021 from the day it was launched. Users may choose to download an Arabic supported version of Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign by simply following the below steps…

    1. From the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop menu, click on All Apps to view a list of installed Adobe applications
    2. Click the three ellipses shown beside each installed application
    3. Choose Uninstall to remove the non-Arabic application
    4. Once ALL installed applications have been uninstalled/removed, click on the “Account” icon found on the top-right corner of the Creative Cloud desktop application and choose “Preferences”
    5. In the newly opened Preferences dialogue window, click on “Apps” in the left pane
    6. From the “Default install Language” drop menu choose English يدعم العربية in order to have Arabic support in Adobe applications, then click the “Done” button.

      مرحبا زيد

       

      Thank you for the help! My initial confusion was that I had taken these steps, but when I came to download the programs, the supported languages list for both Illustrator and InDesign didn't list Arabic. However, I downloaded them and Arabic is working just fine
