Script to change the language to all paragraph Styles?

Y at - it a script out there that will change the language of all styles in a document? I often need to take English files US with several styles files and convert them to the English and French Canada. Find/replace language does well enough for occasional use but I would like to clean up the files I want for later use without going through each style and an era.

-Thanks!

Compiling and recording it in the AppleScript editor are?

Here is a version compiled for the French:

  • [JS, CS3] a script to change the language in all styles of paragraph

    Hello

    I made a script to change the language in all styles of paragraph for "French", but when I run it I get the error: "Invalid request on the root style. Could you please tell me what I'm missing?

    myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
    for (i = 0; i < myStyles.length; i ++)
    {
    myStyle = myStyles [i];
    myStyle.appliedLanguage = "French";
    }

    Parargaph Style #0 is [No Style], and you cannot change this way. Simply start your loop at 1.

    Style #1 is [Basic Style], and if you have trouble as well to change this, simply start at 2.

  • Change the Format of a paragraph Style Figure

    I work in Adobe InDesign 6.0 (PC) on a Dell laptop.

    I copied the text from a file and placed it in another file. Unfortunately, the figure numbers all State the former chapter number (in this instance, "6-#" as 6-1, 6-2, etc.). What I want to do is for the numbers to tell 8-1, 8-2, etc., because they are now in Chapter 8.

    I found this much: according to the style of paragraph to these figures, I right-click and select 'change {paragraph Style name} '. Ok. Then in the window that opens, 'Paragraph Style Options', select "Bullets and numbers" in the left menu. Ok.

    Now, here's my problem. I believe that the key to the entire mystery to be included in the section entitled "Style numbering." Yet, I can not Flip off the fields presented here. They include:

    Format: I guess that's the numbering style I want. Currently it says «1, 2, 3, 4...» I left that alone.

    Number: This field contains "Figure ^.» ^ H ^ = ^ # ». What is with the 'H' and all the symbols of hat and all that? What do I need to let him say so that my numbers read "Figure 8-1", "Figure 8-2" and so on? . "

  • All-in-one Compaq Elite 8300: change the language of the printer

    I use this computer with an OfficeJet Pro 8500 a909 (USB connection). I'm in Switzerland and use E nglish on a Swiss German keyboard. I would like to have the center of HP solutions in English, but I can never manage it. And I get this message:

    Die Druckersprache nicht stimmt mit der auf dem Computer eingestellten Sprache verzeichnen.

    (printing language does not match the computer).

    I have tried everything I can think of to change that, but failed every time - downloads in German printing software every time, even on HP British and American sites. This, clearly, is the computer. Any ideas how to deter? Changing the language in the control panel settings do not do.

  • Change the language of the Document

    Hi Chaps,

    Back with another question for you all...

    A few weeks ago, I found this script by a smart guy that changes the language of the paragraph/character styles.

    I wonder if this can be tweeked or a simple find and replace to allow all the text boxes, stories, etc. (which do not have a style of paragraph/lava) to assign a language throughout the document.

    changeLanguageOfStyles_xl.js
    myDoc = app.documents [0]; var myDisplayDialog() = theResult; myLanguage theResult = [0];

    Paragraph styles
    If (theResult [1] == true)
    {
    myStyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
    for (oneStyle = 1; oneStyle < myStyles.length; ++ oneStyle)
    {
    myStyles [oneStyle] .appliedLanguage = myLanguage;
    }
    }

    Character styles
    If (theResult [2] == true)
    {
    myStyles = myDoc.characterStyles;
    for (oneStyle = 1; oneStyle < myStyles.length; ++ oneStyle)
    {
    myStyles [oneStyle] .appliedLanguage = myLanguage;
    }
    }

    function myDisplayDialog()
    {
    var theLanguages = app.languagesWithVendors.everyItem () .name;

    myDialog = app.dialogs.add var ({name: "" change the language of the paragraph Styles ""});
    {with (MyDialog.dialogColumns.Add ())}
    {with (dialogRows.Add ())}
    {with (dialogColumns.Add ())}
    staticTexts.add ({staticLabel: "language:", minWidth:120});})
    }
    {with (dialogColumns.Add ())}
    var myLanguagesDropdown = dropdowns.add ({stringList:theLanguages, selectedIndex:1});})
    }
    }
    with (dialogRows.Add ())
    {
    with (dialogColumns.Add ())
    {
    staticTexts.add ({staticLabel: "applies to:", minWidth:120});})
    with (dialogColumns.Add ())
    {
    var myParacheckbox = checkboxControls.add ({staticLabel: "Paragraph Styles", checkedState:true});})
    var myCharcheckbox = checkboxControls.add ({staticLabel: "Character Styles", checkedState:false});})
    }
    }
    }

    }
    theResult var = myDialog.show ();
    if(theResult == true) {}
    var theLan = theLanguages [myLanguagesDropdown.selectedIndex]
    var theParaSt = myParacheckbox.checkedState;

    var theCharSt = myCharcheckbox.checkedState;
    myDialog.destroy ();
    }
    else {}
    myDialog.destroy ();
    Exit();
    }
    return [theLan, theParaSt, theCharSt];
    }

    Any ideas?

    See you soon,.

    This simple one-liner should do the trick.

    app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem (). paragraphs.everyItem () .appliedLanguage = 'French ';

  • change the languages box of text at once

    Is there a simple way to change all terms in text boxes at once, rather than select all and there manually change?

    or I have to do it manually, if so is it possible to select all the text boxes and change the language?

    is it maybe average to do also with the function "search and modify"?

    Bob Levine wrote:

    1. create a paragraph style that contains only a languge.

    It is not possible. Character styles can have only a language attribute, but paragraph styles require the formatting of the text. If you already have paragraph styles (you would have at least paragraph standard), you can change the language in advanced character Formats.

    You can also change the language assigned to the text using find/replace and the GREP Find tab. + and the change of setting in the form of language of your choice, and then change all. This should be done in the right language locally misapplied that differs from the paragraph style, however, not as a panacea for incorrect style definitions.

  • Change the language in real-time on multiple PDFs

    Hello

    I have Adobe Acrobat Professional X and I made an interactive pdf for a manual, consisting of different files.

    It is possible to change the language shown on the pdf document?

    On the homepage, I want to put two buttons, for the other two language (English and French), by clicking on the operator can change the language of the other "Text field" rolled in different files: for example, I have the text 'manual_E' and 'manual_F', 'Pneumatic_E' field and 'Pneumatic_F' etc..) English and french, and I want that by clicking the language button, the fields can be hidden or shown.

    Is possible that? Maybe using javascript (I'm not good at script, so I need to get the complete code), or in some other way?

    I hope correctly explaining the problem I have.

    Thank you.

    You cannot move content on a layer, except in some very specific situations using the preflight. Layers are imported other files or created as part of the original document.

    The definition of the visibility of the layers is action on the scale of the document, it will affect all the pages.

    Form fields do not layers, due to the content of the page (for example, labels beside a field). Form field visibility is controlled with a script, as I explained.

  • Change the language of the break

    My editor makes me crazy... She has circled all the hyphens on the article that we do.  The problem is hyphenation behave as in English, and we are writing in Spanish.  I changed the user in Spanish dictionary, but this does not affect how the hyphens, it still cuts words as you would in English.

    Anyone know how I can change this behavior?

    Are you sure that you changed the language declaration in the paragraph style?

  • Cannot change the language 10.11 10.12

    Dear all,

    I use the platform apple & Os for 20 years now. I'm a programmer in C on Unix platform engineer at my job.

    I worked on MacPro 2010 with MacOS 10.11.4 when the problem occurred.

    I'm french, MacOs and any other application was set to french.

    I was working on Xcode 7 (I don't think Xcode is the link to my problem) when notification arrived. This notification, there is a button named "Check", I clicked on, without enter my admin password, something to start the installation. I tried to quit smoking without success, so I used the shortcut Cmd + Alt + Esc to kill the process. Meanwhile, restarted Safari, and it is now defined in English. I also saw that all other applications are now defined in English except the Finder that it still in french.

    There two session on my mac (me and my girlfriend) with the privileges of Directors. On its session, all applications are correctly defined french.

    On my session, I tried to go to the system preferences-> languages to change the language for the french. No way to add french. When I click on the Add button, I see the list of all languages, I select the french and select 'use the french', but nothing changes, and the English language is always the only value in the list. Added no french, and all applications remain in English. Using the terminal and the command line tools to change the language does not change the language.

    I've updated the operating system MacOs Sierra, I always have the same question.

    So my question is this: How do I set up the french language? What is the french language is still installed on my system? Is it possible to install languages without having to reinstall the entire operating system?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Best regards

    Hello

    Any ideas? Does anyone have the same problem?

    Howdy, rapretzan! Thank you for using the Apple support community!

    Great work to solve your problem until now! Apparently to reset all the settings and erasing/re-adding keyboards for iPad Pro still isn't allowing you to change the language since the upgrade to iOS 10. I'll be happy to help you.

    How to back up your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - in order to get your keyboard working properly, I'll have reinstall you the iOS. Please backup your personal data to keep it safe.

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - you will need to use iTunes on a computer to clear completely your iPad you can install a new copy.

    The first time, select "Set up as new iPad" and ignore connecting them to iTunes and App Store and iCloud. See if you are able to get back with your Smart keyboard languages. If you are, go to the next step.
