Working with multiple languages
QuarkXPress is available in several language configurations. If your language
configuration supports it, you can:
Open and edit projects that use any supported character language. Character language
is an attribute that you can apply to text to indicate which hyphenation and spell
checking rules should be used with that text. You can apply character language at the
character level so even if a sentence uses words in two different languages, every
word can be hyphenated and spell checked correctly. For more information, see
"Applying a character language."
(Windows only) Change the user interface and keyboard commands to any supported
program language. Program language refers to the language used in application menus
and dialog boxes. Program language affects only the user interface; it does not affect
spell checking and hyphenation. For more information, see "Changing the program
language."
(Mac OS X only) The program language is determined by your OS language at the time
of install.
Any language edition of QuarkXPress can open, display, and output a project that uses
East Asian features. However, you can only edit text that uses East Asian features if
your East Asian Preference is enabled (QuarkXPress/Edit > East Asian)..
Applying a character language
The character language attribute determines which dictionary is used for spell checking
and which rules and exceptions are used for hyphenation. When you check the spelling
of text that uses different languages, each word is checked using the assigned language
dictionary. When automatic hyphenation is enabled for a project that uses different
character languages, each word is hyphenated using the appropriate hyphenation rules
and hyphenation exceptions for that language.
To apply a character language to text:
(Windows only) Use the Language drop-down menu in the Character Attributes
dialog box (Style > Character)
Use style sheets and the Character/Character Attributes pane of the Measurements
palette.
