Adobe InDesign Files

The following file extensions are supported when setting up file format configurations for Adobe InDesign files: .indd, .idml.

For more information, please see the following sections: 

Default Adobe InDesign Configuration

Every file format has a default configuration to ensure that a file can be translated; however, it does not handle every complex property that could be thrown your way when translating a source file. The default configuration for Adobe InDesign files does the following: 

• Extracts document properties for translation (i.e. document title, keywords, categories, etc.)

• Extracts user comments for translation.

• Extracts locked text-frames.

• Extracts master pages.

• Does not show leading and trailing whitespaces to the translator.

• Does not show texts containing neither letters nor digits to the translator.

• Ignores formatting changes applied to whitespaces.

• Uses SRX Rules for text segmentation.
• Always splits text at line breaks.

Custom Adobe InDesign Configurations

If you are performing a code file translation, a custom file format configuration might be necessary to achieve the right results in your target file. Outside of the default configuration selections, Wordbee Translator offers many additional choices for configuring:

• Not extract document properties, locked text-frames, or master pages.
• Omit user comments from the translation.
• Extract hidden text-frames.
• Show leading and trailing whitespaces to the translator.
• Show texts that do not contain letters nor digits to the translator.
• Ignore formatting changes to texts that do not contain letters nor digits.
• Omit styles from the translation.
• Exclude content from the translation.
