How to enable middle eastern language support in Illustrator cs6?

Hi , I think your link for MENA is not working? please kindly give me another link. I am working in arabic text now. and some lettering appearing question mark. i dont have that MENA on my options.

I know in In Design you can have a template file set up with a right to left text box which can be copied into any version of In Design and used for Arabic text.

If you can get hold of an Illustrator file set up in the ME version this may work too.

I only rarely typeset Arabic in small quantitys so this is a good workaround for me.

All the download links are now broken by the way Ivan =)

There are plugins available also for non ME versions which will help you if your budget won't stretch to another full adobe release;

Multi language text input and editing, ScribeDOOR for Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 and CS6;

World Tools from in-tools.com provides the same functionality for In Design;

Hi axnzaw,

The edition of Illustrator with support for Arabic is now available! The trial version of Arabic-enabled Illustrator CS6 is available at: www.adobe.com/mena_ar/downloads/download-illustrator.html.

I am curious as to how one enables Middle Eastern input in ID or Phoptoshop!?

Where exactly does one set this option to input right to left?

Hi axnzaw,

I'm assuming you're asking about Middle Eastern/North African -specific (MENA) feature support.

• In Photoshop CS6, these are available in all language-editions. That is why you are able to use these features in Photoshop CS6.
• In Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6, these features are available only in the MENA-enabled editions. This is why you will not see MENA features in the Master Collection CS6 trial version.

Information on the MENA-specific editions is awaited.

Cheers,

David
