Dear All,
I would like to have a UI that supports all languages. Will the SDK plugin localization support any language like Arabic (left to right languages), Chinese (pictographic languages), etc? Or are there any list of languages that localization supports?

Thanks

Correct answer Steven__

Thanks for your information. I have another doubt. What does the below statement do?

PMLocaleId nLocale = LocaleSetting::GetLocale();

1. Will it get the language of the InDesign or Will it get the language of the OS?

2. Also, if I want to test my plugin UI in Arabic language What should I do? (currently I have my OS and InDesign in English ). Do I need to chage the language of my OS to Arabic or Do I need to install the InDesign in Arabic language? I have Arabic strings defined in a resouce file in my plugin program and I want this to be tested so that I can see how the Arabic strings are displayed in the UI.

Thanks

#define k_thTH                    0x0025     //Thai
#define k_viVN                    0x0026     //Vietnamese

Many times besides customizing strings, it becomes neccesary to customize dialog also leading to increase in size of plugin. If you add all these languages your plugin will be quite large. Good Luck
