oXygen Author DITA Arabic Support
by Khaled Aly 07 Jul '14

I recently activated oXygen 16 and was wondering if you have reference to actual DITA use cases or sample documents with Arabic language content. I know it works in principle, but my limited trial yet did not yield a good output. My target output would be PDF and Webhelp, for a large documentation project where all/main content will be in Arabic, and will need to support profiling and conditional processing. I tried in a basic topic inserting Arabic content within the element tags. The PDF output had major form problem and the Arabic text was at left rather than at right. The XHTML output came with proper form, but also at left (probably this has a solution by adjusting right-to-left parameter). Thanks & regards, Khaled Aly

Author 16 DITA - Arabic content

Hi I recently activated oXygen 16 and was wondering if you have reference to actual DITA use cases or sample documents with Arabic language content. I know it works in principle, but my limited trial (topic file attached) produced mis-formed Arabic in the PDF. This is a large documentation project where the main content would be in Arabic and need to ensure it would work smoothly. There is a RTL problem in both PDF and XHTML outputs, but I suppose this can be overcome by adjusting related parameter. The main thing is whether things would work smoothly, specially when styling the PDF. Thanks & regards, Khaled
