Hi. I am making commerical documents which need to use both English and Arabic in the same documents. Does InDesign have any settings that allow for it? I have read about InDesign ME but that is not the version I have, and have also read about something called World Ready Composer which I simply cannot find. Without changing the whole system to the Middle Eastern version is there anything I can do?

Another possibility is the World Tools plugin from In-Tools.com.

InDesign CS6 does have a Middle Eastern version that has support for Arabic and Hebrew. http://www.adobe.com/mena_en/products/indesign/tech-specs.html

Middle Eastern support

InDesign CS6 is also available in middle eastern and north african editions. It adds support for Arabic and Hebrew, and provides several features for working with right-to-left, bi-directional scripts, and other language-specific features. Enhanced functionality includes support for tables in the Story Editor, improved Kashida justification, enhanced diacritic positioning, and other text-handling improvements.

See http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/indesign/using/arabic-hebrew.htmlfor more details.

Sorry, folks, let me try that again, with some more words this time - I have no idea whether or not the ME edition is available in the English-language Creative Cloud. It looks like it is possible to obtain the ME edition in the German creative cloud, so I suspect that it should be available in the English Creative Cloud. That's what I meant by "doable." However, whether or not the ME edition is available via the Creative Cloud in your locale, I suspect that it will still be the case that you can't have the the ME version of InDesign installed on the same operating system as the UK version, the US version, or any non-ME edition. Note that I only suspect this - but that has been what has been consistently reported here over the years, that it is impossible to run ME side-by-side with the US (or UK) version on one OS.

The ME version will definitely not be available as part of the Creative Cloud at present.

That is likely to change in the Middle East at a later point. Whether that will be the case in other areas as well, is anyone's guess...

Read further up on "something called World Ready Composer". It's not something you can "simply" find, there are some additional tricks to it. Try http://www.thomasphinney.com/2009/01/adobe-world-ready-composer/

Then again: what version of InDesign are you using? Depending on the answer to that (1.0, CS2, CS7.5ß ... ) the answer to your question could range from "not possible at all" to "absolutely, just follow the proper instructions".

I found that in Indesign CS6 we have a built-in script "Indic preferences" , we basically exposes the use of the "world-ready composer"(WRC), which enables InDesign to use lots of non-Western scripts.

Wouldn't it be helpful here , I dont know much about scrpiting would appreciate if you could tell something about it.

As long as standard InDesign does not support direct selection of RTL, in both Paragraphs and Character styles, you need a script to select the World Ready Composer and set these attributes.

Does Standard CS6 allow this? No idea. Checked the online Help yet?
