Adobe Indesign Accessibility SCRIPT

Hi Sean,

I tested Rob's script successfully on the paragraph style that was applied to selected text.

But because I work with a German InDesign I had to change "English: USA" to "$ID/English: USA" in the code.

Before running the script make sure that you select a bit of text where your paragraph style is applied to that you want to change. What's your language version of InDesign?

Note: "$ID/English: USA" is the value that should work for all international language versions of InDesign.

Hi Rob,

better use the international key strings for the value of appliedLanguage.

In this case:

"$ID/English: UK"

That would work even with my German InDesign.

Also possible:

"$ID/English: USA"
"$ID/English: USA Medical"
"$ID/English: USA Legal"

This would change the language of the insertion point’s Paragraph Style

try {
    app.documents.item(0).selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle.appliedLanguage = "English: USA"
}catch(e) {}
