Entering Segment Text in Right-to-Left Languages
You can enter, display, and edit segment text in right-to-left languages (for example, Arabic or Hebrew). MediaCentral UX recognizes right-to-left characters (RTL). If more than 50 percent of all segment text for a stratum consists of right-to-left characters, the text direction in the Text column changes to right-to-left after you do one of the following:
• Click the Refresh button in the Logging pane toolbar
• Reload the asset from the Assets pane
All segments in a stratum change to use the same text direction.
You can also use the following keyboard shortcut to change the text direction:
• Ctrl+Shift+D
Text direction persists for all segments in a stratum unless the proportion of segment text changes or you manually change the direction. If the first segment text you enter uses right-to-left, the next segment text will begin with right-to-left, unless more than 50 percent of the text consists of left-to-right characters or you manually change the direction.
You can copy and paste right-to-left text. If you paste text into the first segment of a stratum, you need to use a keyboard shortcut to change the direction of the text. After that, the next segment will use right-to-left direction.
Overlay text in the Media viewer is displayed only as left-to-right.
To manually change text direction for segment text, do one of the following:
Press Ctrl+Shift+D.
If the direction is left-to-right, pressing the keyboard shortcut changes direction to right-to-left. If the direction is right-to-left, pressing the keyboard shortcut changes direction to left-to-right.
