Text properties

> confirm if https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#Text.html have info about ALL properties for ALL languages?

Confirmed. The English InDsign has all the properties and methods for Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, etc.

Hi @Robert at ID-Tasker , A Text object only has one applied language. If you get the language, the language applied to the first character of the text range is returned, if you set the text’s language, the language is applied to all of the text’s characters. If you are looking for all of the available languages I think that would be the application object’s languagesWithVendors collection.

So with some text selected I get this:

//some selected text
var t = app.activeDocument.selection[0].texts[0];
$.writeln(t.constructor.name)
//returns Text

$.writeln(t.appliedLanguage)
//returns a single language [object LanguageWithVendors]

$.writeln(t.appliedLanguage.name)
//returns English: USA

$.writeln(t.appliedLanguage.properties.toSource())
//returns all of the language’s properties

//The application’s languages
var lv = app.languagesWithVendors
$.writeln(lv.length)
//returns 60

$.writeln(lv.everyItem().name)
//returns a list of the alailable languages
