Choose a profile
In Format, open Primary Language and type to find the language. Select its regional Style where available. This sets the interface and screenplay conventions. It does not translate existing dialogue; Translate to is a separate workflow.
The course demonstrates Spanish, French, Russian, Yoruba, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Dari, Pashto and Yiddish, among others.
Direction and numerals
Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew use right-to-left text and move the sidebar to the right automatically. You can choose its side yourself with the sidebar arrows. Hebrew and Arabic examples in the course show scene numbers.
Where traditional numerals are supported, use the profile’s numeral control to choose the required form. Check the actual page, especially before printing.
Vertical layouts
Japanese uses vertical screenplay layouts. Chinese also offers a Vertical Writing control. Choose the intended convention and inspect the page at a useful magnification. Regional and competition styles can have their own formatting requirements.
