Hi! I'm going to have some artwork created, and I'm having a phrase
translated into different languages, for this artwork. For this
sake of this discussion, let's say the phrase is:
LibreOffice is amazing software
The idea is to have that translated into Arabic, Cantonese, Greek
and maybe a few other languages. I already have the translation
part covered. I already know how to set the "Complex Text Layout"
option to a specific language.
My question: what's the best approach to have multiple "complex
language" samples in a "master" document, if you will. I would have
a single document, created in Writer, where I would have the
translation of the above phrase, in each language, on a separate
page. Then, I would export this document to PDF and send it off to
the artist who create the art.
Would I need to somehow set the "complex text layout" option per
page or per frame (I'm putting the translated text in a frame)? Or
would it be easiest to simply have each phrase in its own document?
Thanks in advance!
Page styles seems the obvious answer. A different style for each page
should meet your needs.

Why not just a different paragraph style for each language? Is there
any particular need to have separate pages?
- Robert
Great question! The only need for separate pages would be to maximize
the size of the phrase in a given language. I'll experiment with page
styles and paragraph styles.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Peace...
