Entering Marker Text in Right-to-Left Languages
 
You can enter, display, and edit marker 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 marker text for an asset consists of right-to-left characters, the text direction in the Notes 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 markers in a single asset change to use the same text direction.
You can also use one of the following the keyboard shortcuts to change the text direction:
Ctrl+Shift+D (Windows)
Command+Shift+D (Macintosh)
Text direction persists for all markers in a single asset unless the proportion of marker text changes or you manually change the direction. If the first marker you enter uses right-to-left, the next marker 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 marker of an asset, you need to use a keyboard shortcut to change the direction of the text. After that, the next marker will use right-to-left direction.
You can export the marker text, and the right-to-left direction is retained.
*Overlay text in the Media viewer is displayed only as left-to-right.
To manually change text direction for all marker text:
*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.
