Em poucas palavras

O relatório anual de uma fundação escrito em árabe, com cada parágrafo seguido da versão em inglês. A página mistura as duas direções sem que as palavras, os números ou as tabelas saiam de ordem.

O que você vai compor

O relatório de 2025 de uma fundação de tradução imaginária, Dar al-Dad, numa página de 210 × 280 mm (a largura do A4) em IBM Plex Sans Arabic e IBM Plex Sans, as duas metades de uma mesma família. O relatório é árabe: corre da direita para a esquerda e numera as páginas ٢, ٣. Cada parágrafo árabe vem seguido da versão em inglês, menor e em cinza-ardósia, composta da esquerda para a direita e em bandeira à direita; cada título árabe leva um rótulo em inglês na outra margem. Os nomes latinos dentro das frases árabes mantêm a própria ordem, e os números do ano aparecem duas vezes, numa tabela árabe lida a partir da direita e numa inglesa lida a partir da esquerda. Na edição espanhola, a segunda língua é o espanhol.

// The document is Arabic (locale 'ar'): right to left, Arabic-Indic digits. A block in the
// other language says so in the Markdown, and its style gives it its own voice:
//   :::paragraphs{style="second" dir=ltr}      a paragraph or several, set left to right
//   ### Director's note {style="second-head" dir=ltr}
// Inside an Arabic sentence, a Latin name is an isolate, :ltr[Penguin Classics]{lang=en}, so
// the words around it keep their order. 'start' and 'end' follow each block's own direction.

Preparo

#1 · A segunda língua em blocos marcados

O código está na resposta curta, mais acima. O documento é árabe, então todo bloco corre da direita para a esquerda até o Markdown dizer o contrário: {dir=ltr} numa cerca :::paragraphs ou num título inverte aquele bloco, e textAlign: 'start' leva cada bloco para o lado em que ele começa, a direita no árabe e a esquerda no inglês (Direção do documento, do bloco e do texto na linha). Um nome latino dentro de uma linha árabe, :ltr[Harbour Modern Classics], é um isolamento: o algoritmo bidirecional o trata como uma peça neutra única, e as palavras árabes e a vírgula em volta dele ficam no lugar (Isolamentos). emphasis: 'italic' mantém Middlemarch em itálico no texto inglês; o motor nunca inclina uma letra árabe, seja qual for a configuração.

#2 · Uma tabela para cada direção

script.js · linhas 49–82no código completo
const cell = (content, extra = {}) => ({ content, ...extra });
const tableOf = (head, rows) => ({ headerRowCount: 1, columnWidths: [46, 18, 18, 18],
  rows: [head.map((h, i) => cell(h, { isHeader: true, align: i ? 'end' : 'start' })),
    ...rows.map((r) => r.map((c, i) => cell(c, { align: i ? 'end' : 'start' })))] });
const FIGURES = [ // programme, 2024, 2025, change: the Foundation's own counts
  ['كتب مترجمة إلى العربية', 'Books translated into Arabic', 28, 34],
  ['كتب مترجمة من العربية', 'Books translated from Arabic', 9, 14],
  ['منح للمترجمين', 'Translator grants', 41, 52],
  ['ورشات تدريب', 'Training workshops', 12, 18],
  ['مشاركون في الورشات', 'Workshop participants', 310, 466]];
const SPANISH = { 'Books translated into Arabic': 'Libros traducidos al árabe',
  'Books translated from Arabic': 'Libros traducidos del árabe',
  'Translator grants': 'Becas para traductores', 'Training workshops': 'Talleres de formación',
  'Workshop participants': 'Participantes en los talleres' };
const change = (a, b) => `${b > a ? '+' : ''}${Math.round((100 * (b - a)) / a)}%`;
const AR = (n) => String(n).replace(/\d/g, (d) => '٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩'[d]); // the author's ٠–٩
const tableAr = tableOf(['البرنامج', '٢٠٢٤', '٢٠٢٥', 'التغيّر'], FIGURES.map(([ar, , a, b]) =>
  [ar, AR(a), AR(b), AR(change(a, b)).replace('%', '٪')]));
const tableEn = tableOf(t({ en: ['Programme', '2024', '2025', 'Change'],
  es: ['Programa', '2024', '2025', 'Cambio'] }), FIGURES.map(([, en, a, b]) =>
  [t({ en, es: SPANISH[en] }), String(a), String(b), change(a, b)]));
// The English table has a heading of its own and no number: a generated number would print in
// the document's digits, ٢, inside the English block.
const resourceTypes = [...defaultResourceTypes('ar'), { id: 'data', name: 'Data',
  shortLabel: 'Data', captionPrefix: '', numberingTemplate: '', resetOn: 'never',
  counterFormat: 'decimal' }];
const resources = [
  { id: 'figures-ar', typeId: 'table', kind: 'table', createdAt: 0, updatedAt: 0,
    table: { model: tableAr }, placement: { position: 'here' },
    caption: 'أرقام البرامج في عامي ٢٠٢٤ و٢٠٢٥' },
  { id: 'figures-en', typeId: 'data', kind: 'table', createdAt: 0, updatedAt: 0,
    table: { model: tableEn, direction: 'ltr', styleId: 'second' },
    placement: { position: 'here' } },
];

A tabela árabe segue o documento: a primeira coluna, o programa, fica à direita, e align: 'end' encosta os números na borda esquerda das células. A tabela inglesa define direction: 'ltr', então a primeira coluna fica à esquerda e 'end' quer dizer a borda direita (O que significam esquerda, direita, início e fim). Os números árabes foram digitados em ٠–٩ e os ingleses em 0–9: os algarismos do documento só valem para os números que o motor escreve, como o número da tabela na legenda, جدول ١-١. Por isso a tabela inglesa tem um tipo próprio, sem contador: um número ali sairia como ٢.

#3 · Dois títulos numa faixa

script.js · linhas 86–100no código completo
const band = { enabled: true, minHeight: mm(70), slot: { elements: [
  { kind: 'box', id: 'band', style: { backgroundColor: col('teal') },
    placement: { anchor: { to: 'bleed', edge: 'top-left' },
      size: { width: mm(216), height: mm(86) } } },
  // Design text takes the document's direction; an English title says 'ltr' and aligns left.
  { kind: 'text', id: 'org', content: '{attr.org}', fontFamily: ARABIC, fontSize: pt(13),
    fontWeight: 600, color: col('tint'), align: 'right',
    placement: { anchor: { to: 'page', edge: 'top-right' }, offset: { x: mm(-SIDE), y: mm(18) } } },
  { kind: 'text', id: 'title', content: '{titleText}', fontFamily: ARABIC, fontSize: pt(50),
    fontWeight: 700, lineHeight: 1.15, color: col('paper'), align: 'right',
    placement: { anchor: { to: 'page', edge: 'top-right' }, offset: { x: mm(-SIDE), y: mm(30) } } },
  { kind: 'text', id: 'title-2', content: '{attr.second}', direction: 'ltr', fontFamily: LATIN,
    fontSize: pt(20), fontWeight: 300, color: col('tint'), align: 'left',
    placement: { anchor: { to: 'page', edge: 'top-left' }, offset: { x: mm(SIDE), y: mm(66) } } },
] } };

A página de rosto é o design do título de nível 1. O texto de design segue a direção do documento, então o nome e o título árabes não precisam de nada; o título inglês define direction: 'ltr' e se ancora na borda esquerda da página. A faixa é uma caixa ancorada na sangria, com 86 mm de altura, e o minHeight da abertura traz a carta da diretora para logo abaixo dela.

We published 34 books translated into Arabic and 14 translated from it, awarded 52 grants to translators from nine countries, and ran 18 training workshops attended by 466 people. ::: وأكثر ما يسعدنا في هذه الأرقام أن الترجمة من العربية بدأت تلحق بالترجمة إليها. فقد كان الكتاب المترجم من العربية قبل خمس سنوات يقابله أكثر من ستة كتب مترجمة إليها، وصار اليوم يقابله كتابان ونصف. وقد صدرت روايتان من الكتب التي دعمناها في سلسلة :ltr[Harbour Modern Classics]{lang=en}، وهي المرة الأولى التي تدخل فيها روايات عربية معاصرة هذه السلسلة بدعم منا. :::paragraphs{style="second" dir=ltr} What pleases us most in these figures is that translation from Arabic has begun to catch up with translation into it. Five years ago, every book we supported out of Arabic was matched by more than six into it; today the ratio is two and a half to one. Two of the novels we supported appeared in Harbour Modern Classics. ::: ## أرقام العام ### The year in figures {style="second-head" dir=ltr} يعرض الجدول التالي برامج المؤسسة الخمسة في العامين الأخيرين، والنسبة التي تغيّر بها كل برنامج. وتُحسب المنح في السنة التي صُرفت فيها، لا في السنة التي قُدّم فيها الطلب. ::resource{id="figures-ar"} :::paragraphs{style="second" dir=ltr} The table below gives the same figures in English. Grants are counted in the year they were paid, not the year they were applied for. ::: ::resource{id="figures-en"} ## البرامج ### Programmes {style="second-head" dir=ltr} **الترجمة إلى العربية.** نختار الكتب بالتشاور مع لجنة من الناشرين والمترجمين تجتمع مرتين في السنة. ومن أبرز ما صدر هذا العام ترجمة جديدة لرواية :ltr[Middlemarch]{lang=en} لجورج إليوت، ومختارات من مقالات :ltr[Michel de Montaigne]{lang=fr} في الصداقة والسفر والقراءة. :::paragraphs{style="second" dir=ltr} **Translation into Arabic.** Titles are chosen with a committee of publishers and translators that meets twice a year. This year's list includes a new translation of George Eliot's *Middlemarch* and a selection of Montaigne's essays on friendship, travel and reading. ::: **الترجمة من العربية.** نموّل نصف تكاليف الترجمة للناشر الأجنبي الذي يشتري حقوق كتاب عربي، ونرافق المترجم بمحرر يقرأ ترجمته مع النص الأصلي. وصدرت هذا العام كتب مترجمة إلى الإنجليزية والإسبانية والتركية والإندونيسية. :::paragraphs{style="second" dir=ltr} **Translation from Arabic.** We pay half the translation costs of a foreign publisher who buys the rights to an Arabic book, and pair the translator with an editor who reads the translation against the original. This year's books appeared in English, Spanish, Turkish and Indonesian. ::: **التدريب.** تستمر الورشة الواحدة خمسة أيام، ويعمل فيها المشاركون على نص واحد بإشراف مترجمَين اثنين، أحدهما ينقل إلى العربية والآخر ينقل منها. وقد أضفنا هذا العام ورشة للترجمة الأدبية للأطفال، وأخرى لترجمة الشعر. :::paragraphs{style="second" dir=ltr} **Training.** Each workshop runs for five days, and its participants work on a single text with two tutors, one translating into Arabic and one out of it. This year we added a workshop on children's literature and another on poetry. ::: :::paragraphs{style="colophon" dir=ltr} A specimen report written for the Postext Cookbook; the Foundation, its figures and its people are invented.

Erros comuns

Erro comum

Marque um livro árabe como 'ar', não com LANG

As edições de uma receita são en e es, mas uma amostra árabe é árabe nas duas: `locale: LANG` a comporia da esquerda para a direita, a encadernaria pela esquerda, numeraria as suas páginas 1 2 3 e chamaria as suas figuras de Figure ou Figura. Escreva você mesmo a marcação: 'ar' (algarismos arábico-índicos, a convenção do Machrek), uma região como 'ar-EG' ou 'ar-SA', ou 'ar-MA', 'ar-DZ' ou 'ar-TN' para uma edição magrebina com algarismos europeus. Uma página latina que só cita árabe mantém o seu próprio locale. Texto da direita para a esquerda →

Erro comum

Fontes árabes precisam do seu arquivo arabic, pelo bloco arabic

O Fontsource serve Amiri, Noto Naskh Arabic ou Scheherazade New em um arquivo por subconjunto, e as letras árabes estão no arquivo arabic. loadFonts baixa só latin (e latin-ext), então na tela o árabe vem de uma fonte do sistema e é medido errado, e o fontsourceProvider entrega ao PDF esse arquivo latin, que imprime caixas vazias. Inclua o bloco arabic do kit, chame loadArabicFonts(FONTS, markdown) depois de loadFonts, com todos os pesos que as páginas usam em árabe listados em FONTS, e passe a renderToPdf fontProvider: arabicPdfProvider. Fontes árabes →

Erro comum

Qualquer objeto headings desativa a quebra de página do H1

Por padrão, um H1 salta para uma página ímpar (always-odd), mas passar qualquer objeto headings redefine esse padrão, então os capítulos ficam emendados e span: 'page' não faz nada. Declare de novo headings.levels[0].breakBefore: { enabled: true, parity } em toda configuração. Capítulos que abrem em página ímpar →

Erro comum

Carregue todas as fontes antes do layout

O motor de layout mede o texto com as fontes que o navegador carregou e guarda as larguras em cache, então uma fonte que chega depois da primeira composição deixa quebras de linha erradas e um PDF que não corresponde mais à tela. Carregue antes todos os pesos e estilos e chame clearMeasurementCache() antes de recompor quando alguma chegar atrasada. Fontes antes da diagramação →

  • Um número que o motor escreve dentro de um bloco inglês, seja um número de lista ou o rótulo de uma legenda, continua usando os algarismos do documento (٢ num relatório árabe). Dê a essas tabelas um tipo de recurso sem contador, ou escreva você mesmo os números.
