Hi Ashish,

Thanks for your inquiry. You need to specify Bidi to either true (for right-to-left languages) or false Please try specifying the Font.Bidi and ParagraphFormat.Bidi properties as follows:

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();
// Signal to Microsoft Word that this run of text contains right-to-left text.
builder.Font.Bidi = true;
builder.CurrentParagraph.ParagraphFormat.Bidi = true;
// Specify the locale so Microsoft Word recognizes this text as Hebrew - Israel.
// For the list of locale identifiers please see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_standards/ms-oe376/6c085406-a698-4e12-9d4d-c3b0ee3dbc4a
builder.Font.LocaleIdBi = 1037;
// Insert some Hebrew text.
builder.Writeln("הלכה למשה מסיני");
builder.Document.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

I hope, this helps.

Best regards,

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for your inquiry. It seems you’re using older version of Aspose.Words i.e. 13.4.0 on your end. I suggest you please upgrade to the latest version 15.2.0 from the following link:
https://downloads.aspose.com/words/net

Secondly, I could see only abc.doc (Aspose.Words generated document) and language.docx (template/input document) in attachment. The expected document and source code are missing . Please attach these missing resources here for testing. We will then investigate the issue on our end and provide you more information.

Best regards,

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for the details. Please try using the following code to achieve this:

Dim doc As New Document(MyDir & "language.docx")
doc.MailMerge.FieldMergingCallback = New HandleMergeFields()
doc.MailMerge.Execute(New String() {"hindi", "", ""}, New Object() {"छठा विकेट गिरा, अफ़रीदी भी लौटे", "", ""})
doc.Save(MyDir & "out.docx")
Private Class HandleMergeFields
Implements IFieldMergingCallback

Private Sub IFieldMergingCallback\_FieldMerging(ByVal args As FieldMergingArgs) Implements IFieldMergingCallback.FieldMerging
If args.FieldName.Equals("hindi") Then
Dim builder As New DocumentBuilder(args.Document)
builder.MoveToMergeField(args.FieldName)
builder.Font.NameFarEast = "Mangal"
builder.Font.Bidi = False
builder.Font.LocaleIdBi = 439
builder.Writeln(args.FieldValue.ToString())
End If
End Sub

Private Sub ImageFieldMerging(ByVal e As ImageFieldMergingArgs) Implements IFieldMergingCallback.ImageFieldMerging
' Do nothing.
End Sub

End Class

I hope, this helps.

Hi Ashish,

Thanks for your inquiry. I am afraid, there is no way in Aspose.Words that you can use to detect language of a particular string of text. But, you can try searching the web to see how different language detection algorithms work. If we can help you with anything else, please feel free to ask.
