Equalizer Now Supports Arabic Language UI [OBSOLETE]
December 08, 2009 | Equalizer | en | fr
This post is now obsolete. Please check out the new version of Equalizer. The old version for CS4 is still here.
Equalizer 2.07 for InDesign CS4 supports five languages. The script now provides English (default), French, German, Russian and Arabic UI strings depending on the application locale.
Thanks to the “YALT technology”, it's really easy to extend the Equalizer's UI to various languages. In November, we provided the UI into German with the priceless help of Peter Kahrel, Martin Fischer and Gerald Singelmann. Next, Vladislav Ossipov from DesignGu.ru sent me a Russian translation of the localized strings. Then Mohammed Taher from InDesignYat helped me to translate Equalizer (v. 2.07) into Arabic. Surprisingly, YALT can manage transparently the Arabic Unicode block (U+0600..U+06FF
) without right-to-left markers —however, I suppose this works only in InDesign CS4-ME.

Here's the Equalizer dialog box in Arabic locale:
The same in German (Mac OS) —with my special thanks to Kai Rübsamen (from HilfDirSelbst) who also helped me to fix various bugs:
...and in Russian (Windows):
How to get Equalizer translated into other languages?
It's quite simple! Email me —marc{at}indiscripts{dot}com— the corresponding strings from the following lines:
// Y Location :: // X Location :: // Location :: // Height :: // Width :: // Size :: // Shear :: // Rotation :: // Angles :: // Swap: :: // Apply: :: // Copy Coordinates :: // Unable to apply the coordinates: :: // Unable to swap the coordinates: :: // Equalizer Preferences... :: // Equalizer 2.0 - Preferences ::

YALT est assez géniale comme idée… et tu peux donc générer des localisations express, chouette.

A: I am utterly unable to find your email listed anywhere on your current website (this one). What's up with that level of secrecy???
B: So, some days ago, I sent you an email to your old marcautret.free.fr address -- but have not heard from you, so I wonder if that email is now defunct.
C: Therefore, as a last resort, I post this blog comment -- in the hope that you can still be reached somewhere, somehow. :-)
Hi Klaus,
Sorry for my silence, I'm terribly behind the times...
I actually received your email —a pretty stimulant challenge anyway...— and I'll answer soon.
I promise ;-)
OK, glad! Then I know you are alive and well and merrily coding away -- the way we all want you to be! There's no hurry with my little challenge, but I figured you might possibly find it interesting.
I actually have another challenge also -- will send it to you this weekend, just for the hell of it. So be afraid, be verrrry afrrrraid . . . ;-)
