After the import from an unicode txt the Hebrew characters are totally messed because CS1 do not know the right to left rules. the scripts do not work, even i put .js Indesign ME and other version of CS2, 3 or 4 is out of discussion because i have to work only with CS. Do you have any news for me or can you update the scripts for CS? Hi all,
I am using an old version of Indesign, actually first Indesign CS and i have to import in indesign a text and its translation in Hebrew.
After the import from an unicode txt the Hebrew characters are totally messed because CS1 do not know the right to left rules.

the scripts do not work, even i put .js

Indesign ME and other version of CS2, 3 or 4 is out of discussion because i have to work only with CS.

Do you have any news for me or can you update the scripts for CS?

However, my problem now seems to be that I'm using CS1 (I do a very small amount of desktop publishing work, and it's just not worth it for me to upgrade). I keep getting a JavaScript error when I try to run the script. Any ideas? I'm really dreading having to manually reverse the order of over 200 Hebrew words in an article I'm working on, especially since I don't understand it at all!

But the problem is, my boss won't say yes to upgrading right now or buying the ME version (which I am not sure will do the work cause I also have greek in my text, a european language), so I gotta find somehow a way to pull this trick using the European version I have. And it's been 5 days since the whole thing started, the whole situation is delayed...in general things are not well :/ I know I may be asking too much, but if anybody has ever faced such a situation or has an idea about how this thing can be done, I'd be greatful. Even telling me if there is absolutely no chance it will work would be important, 'cause atleast I'll kno how and what to say to my superior. I am sorry for the trouble and thank you for you time.

The group of the Semitic Languages includes the languages of the old Fertile Crescent (The Akkadian), the Canaanite, the Aramaic, the southern Arabic language and some of the African Horn languages such as the Amharic language. The linguistics had put the Arabic language specifically in the middle Semitic group from the western Semitic languages. The Arabic language had been developing during hundreds of years, and after being born more than 2000 years before, it became,( before The Islam ), called the language of Modder. And it had been used in the north of the island after it had demolished the old northern Arabic, and taken its place, while the old southern Arabic was called the language of Hemmier referring to the greatest king of Yemen that time. Moreover, the Arabic language is the first one to use the ( dad) letter in the whole world, although the Albanian language use the same letter, the use of this letter went back to the arrival of the Islam and the Arabic language to Albany by the Ottomans.

Instead, you'd need the ME version from Winsoft (I know that in-tools.com sells it). You may also be able to make some headway with one of the World Ready Composer plug-ins (if you're using CS4).
