Fusion de données Indesign en langue arabe

Bonjour, bien que j'utilise régulièrement et sans problèmes la fusion de données avec des textes en police latine, je n'arrive pas à importer correctement du texte en arabe dans un document - en l'occurence des noms arabes dans une invitation bilingue anglais-arabe - les noms s'affichent sous forme de rectangles vides, impossible de les afficher en arabe correct.

Mon champ cible est paramétré avec une police arabe et avec le compositeur de paragraphe universel Adobe est activé.

Est-ce que d'autres utilisateurs ont rencontré le même problème ? Est-ce que vous avez une solution ?

Merci par avance.

I wasn't successful with your csv file, it kept giving me issues within InDesign, I beleive the structure of your semi-colon delimeted data within Excel table doesn't work.

If you can try my way which worked many times for me even when I have both English and Arabic text within my data in MS Excel. I save the Excel file in UTF-16 Unicode Text (.txt). See video clip here…

I have done few Arabic Data-merge in InDesign over the years. I can try this one for you. Do you wish to share the document and partial data for my testing?

Note. I will use the Middle Eastern version of InDeisgn for this.

Edit. I just reliazied that you shared the files already up here.

Hello Zaid,

Thank you for your kindness.

In my previous answer to Anubhav, I shared a link with a sample of my document.

I hope you will help me to find a solution.

Hello @Grapheine,

Could you try installing the Arabic/Hebrew version of InDesign by following the suggestions shared in this help article (https://adobe.ly/42SMUuY) and let us know if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Anubhav,

Thank you for your answer. I installed the ME version of Indesign but it doesn't resolved my issue.

I think it is a problem of import with csv files, even in other langages, the special caracters are not well managed (for exemple, the ¨ caracter is bad interpreted in any langage).

I hope you will help me, I am sure many users have the same problem.

Thank you for your help.

Hello @Grapheine,

Thanks for confirming. Could you share a link to a sample AI and CSV file along with a complete screen recording of your exact workflow, so I can try and replicate this behavior on my end?

Note: While sharing the file, kindly make the link public and enable the option to Save a Copy/Download under Link Settings (if available).

Looking forward to hearing from you.
