Documents with RTL, mixed directions and tables.


Task

A multilingual document required correct handling of RTL and LTR within the same layout.

Details

  • RTL text and separate LTR elements;
  • tables and captions;
  • multi-page document structure;
  • final checking of reading direction.

Next step

Describe the project — I’ll look at the source document and the task.

For an initial estimate, a brief description, languages, volume, source format and, where possible, a sample document are enough.

Useful details to include

  • document type and source format;
  • translation / localization languages;
  • volume and estimated deadline;
  • whether source files are available or only PDF / scans;
  • special layout and final-format requirements.
