==Internationalization and localization==
InDesign Middle Eastern editions have unique settings for laying out Arabic or [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] text. They feature:
* '''Text settings''': Special settings for laying out Arabic or Hebrew text, such as:
*# Ability to use [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[Persian language|Persian]] or [[Hindi]] digits;
*# Use [[kashida]]s for letter spacing and full justification;
*# [[Typographic ligature|Ligature]] option;
*# Adjust the position of [[diacritic]]s, such as vowels of the Arabic script;
*# [[Justification (typesetting)|Justify text]] in three possible ways: Standard, Arabic, [[Naskh (script)|Naskh]]{{explain|date=September 2014}};
*# Option to insert special characters, including [[Geresh]], [[Gershayim]], [[Maqaf]] for Hebrew and [[Kashida]] for Arabic texts;
*# Apply standard, Arabic, or Hebrew styles for page, paragraph, and footnote numbering.
* '''Bi-directional text flow''': Right-to-left behavior applies to several objects: Story, paragraph, character, and table. It allows mixing right-to-left and left-to-right words, paragraphs, and stories in a document. Changing the direction of neutral characters (e.g., / or ?) is possible according to the user's keyboard language.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/arabic-hebrew.html|title=Arabic and Hebrew features in InDesign|website=Adobe InDesign User Guide|language=en|access-date=August 7, 2018}}</ref>
* '''Table of contents''': Provides a table of contents titles, one for each supported language. This table is sorted according to the chosen language. InDesign CS4 Middle Eastern versions allow users to select the language of the index title and cross-references.
* '''Indices''': This allows the creation of a simple keyword index or a somewhat more detailed index of the information in the text using embedded indexing codes. Unlike more sophisticated programs, InDesign cannot insert character style information as part of an index entry (e.g., when indexing book, journal, or movie titles). Indices are limited to four levels (the top level and three sub-levels). Like tables of contents, indices can be sorted according to the selected language.
* '''Importing and exporting''': Can import [[QuarkXPress]] files up to version 4.1 (1999), even using Arabic XT, Arabic Phonyx, or Hebrew XPressWay fonts, retaining the layout and content. Includes 50 import/export filters, including a [[Microsoft Word]] 97-98-2000 import filter and a [[plain text]] import filter. Exports IDML files can be read by [[QuarkXPress]] 2017.
* '''Reverse layout''': Include a reverse layout feature to reverse the layout of a document when converting a left-to-right document to a right-to-left one or vice versa.
* '''Complex script rendering''': InDesign supports [[Unicode]] character encoding, and Middle Eastern editions support complex text layouts for Arabic and Hebrew complex scripts. The underlying Arabic and Hebrew support is present in the Western editions of InDesign CS4, CS5, CS5.5, and CS6, but the user interface is not exposed, making it difficult to access.
