Hi, I switched my account to English with Hebrew support and I still can't create text from right to left or have a cover that opens from the right. I would appreciate help, thanks

For both Illustrator and InDesign, the steps are the same. First, you have to pick a default lanaguage in the Creative Cloud app preferences that supports right-to-left languages, either English (Arabic) or English (Hebrew). Once you've done that, you have to go back to the Apps section of the Creative Cloud app, where you'll have an "Install" button instead of an "Open" button. Then the CC app will install the additional support files necessary for right-to-left languages.

Hello @Or Ifargan,

Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. 

 

Are you talking about text generated in the image or text shown in the user interface? Could you please include a screen shot showing the problem?

Thanks,
    droopy

on I InDesign, when I want to open a book, it doesn't ask me if the cover
is right to left.

And in Illustrator, it only allows me to write from left to right, and I
also want the option of writing from right to left.

If you want to post a screenshot - you need to do it on the website - replying to email won't work.

I did what you said and still at InDesign he doesn't let me do a right-to-left binding. This means that the default is only to open on the left.

And even in Elos, when I want to change the direction of the text from right to left, he doesn't give it. Although I changed to a Hebrew supported version and then did a software update and even tried to uninstall and reinstall...

Hi @Or Ifargan,

 

Ah, ok. Since your question is not Firefly related, I will move it to the InDesign forum.

 

My best,

If you need to write RTL text, you need a ME version and in the paragraph styles you have to select a world composer in fine tuning.
