Question

Translation of Properties of “ParagraphStyle”

Hi everybody,

I need a little help with the translation of some properties for a user interface. Some properties of “ParagraphStyle” should be displayed for the user in German.

---

Does anyone know how “Ruby Font” or “Kenten Font” is best translated into German?

---

And what is meant by “previewColor” in connection with “ParagraphStyle”?

The Reference Guide says only: “The color to use for preview, … representing R,G, and B values, …”. But what preview?

---

Thanks for the help!

Roland

Just as we do not translate "Ruby" and "Kenten" into English, so you should not translate them into German. InDesign does not localize these terms, and that is correct. Anyone who wants to use them will refer to them by their transliterated-into-English names, Ruby and Kenten. Trying to come up with German names will simply cause confusion.

As for your second question, in this post, Helpful AnswerRe: Fast Display always gray, Jongware suggests it doesn't do anything.
