Thank you

Correct answer levleo

Here is what many don't know: the Middle Eastern version is indeed available on InDesign (and for Creative Cloud users). In order to take advantage of the ME options you need to:

1. Sign onto Adobe Application Manager.

2. Click on your name and go to Preferences

3. Change your language from English to "תומך עברית English" or the equivilant for Arabic etc.

4. Double check to verify that the language settings took place by going into Preferences once again (it didn't work for me first time around).

Now, any application you download (I've tried it only with InDesign so far) will automatically be with Hebrew or Arabic support.

Good luck!

My understanding is that Adobe has brought the ME version in-house rather than having WinSoft write the additional modules, but it will be a while before it is available.

When WinSoft was developing the ME versions, there was always a lag between a new InDesign release and the release of the ME version. I suspect this may still be true (just guessing, no inside knowledge).

There are no ME editions anymore. It's all done natively now:

But I installed the trial from adobe, and I don't see Middle Eastern specific features, like Direction, Diacritics, Kashida or other features.

Should I install some extra package for arabic options?

Thank you
