Hello,
I have now the challenge in a book to set an interlinear translation.
That is two languages word-by-word (original above translation), so the
sentence structure follows the originals language, like its common in
many scientific bible translations.
My problem: The TABLES are not suitable, because
1. I have to determine in advance, how many words are in the row, which
depens obviously on the page-width and widths of the words.
2. Its not readable and well editable, because in Context (and most
other languages) one has to write the table in rows and not in columns,
as I need it for interlinear translations.
Example:
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD word 1, language 1\eTD \bTD word 2, language 1\eTD \bTD word
3, language 1\eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD word 1, language 2\eTD \bTD word 2, language 2\eTD \bTD word
3, language 2\eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
So I can not make this into and simple macro \interlinear{#1}{#2}, which
I could use this way:
\interlinear{word 1, language 1}{word 1, language 2}
\interlinear{word 2, language 1}{word 2, language 2}
\interlinear{word 3, language 1}{word 3, language 2}
(all three blocks in the same horizontal line, if no linebreak is needed)
On top of this, the language 1 (arabic) is right-to-left (so language 2
(german) must follow), it should be compatible with right-to-left
reading someway. I tried with \framed, but failed, because the framed
blocks are set one under the other, not side by side. How can I achieve
a nice way with this simple readable macros?
Thank you.
Huseyin

First it failed to compile (with Context version from 2015, did not know \defineruby), but with the most recent beta it does well. So a small btw-question, I compile out of notepad++ (windows 7, 64 bit) with this code: cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) context $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\main.tex --synctex=1 taskkill \im SumatraPDF.exe C:\Users\Huseyin\sumatra.bat "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\main.pdf" This always uses the default context-version, which path' is saved the environment-variables of windows. How can I switch (and control) between different context-versions or pathes for compiling without changing the environment variables in Win (and after that I have to restart)? I tried to write the path directly into the command above, but did not work. Thanks and I may have questions to the actual question about interlinear typesetting later, will try to define some nice macros with arabic-german interlinear texts.

Right, but in many cases I am just not aware of what is available, to be honest, though I quite often use the wikigarden. I tried to change your example into arabic-german, seems to work, except only the first translation-pair is shown (see attachment). Why? \usemodule [database] \startbuffer[sample] "قال","sagte (Es)" "رسول","Gesandte (der)" "الله","Gottes" \stopbuffer \define[2]\InterlinearText {\setupalign[r2l]\definedfont[file:arial*arabic at 16 pt] \ruby{{\setupalign[r2l]#1}}{\setupalign[l2r]\definedfont[name:arial at 10pt]#2}} \definedatabase [interlineartext] [quotechar={"}, command=\InterlinearText] \setupinterlinespace[line=8ex] \setupruby[voffset=-3ex] \starttext \definedfont[file:arial*arabic at 16 pt] \processdatabasebuffer[interlineartext][sample] \stoptext And second: Of course it would be best readable, if one could write instead \startbuffer[sample] "قال","(Es) sagte" \stopbuffer but with same output, s.t. the order of the words in the second database-element is inverted. Is that possible?

Is that possible? There is no command which changes the order of words in a sentence but this should be easy with a short Lua function.

Yes, probably, but this switching is necessary, look at your example: It gives wrong aligning of the arabic letters (left to right instead of right to left), so at some point one has to inject a \setupalign[r2l], but all my tries only gave this one as a correct result: \define[2]\InterlinearText {\setupalign[r2l]\definedfont[file:arial*arabic at 16 pt] \ruby{{\setupalign[r2l]#1}}{\setupalign[l2r]\definedfont[name:arial at 10pt]#2}} But that as mentioned looses all other databse entries except the first. Some hints where to make the r2l-switch with getting the same result? > There is no command which changes the order of words in a sentence > but this should be easy with a short Lua function. Thank you, if some day one is available, I will use it. Or wil learn Lua, right, should be a very basic function to implement.
