Creating a Hebrew Book Layout (Right-to-Left) in Scribus

Previous topic - Next topic

Hello,

Thank you for developing Scribus — it's a powerful tool and I'm excited to use it for my next project.

I would like to use Scribus to create a book in Hebrew, following the traditional right-to-left layout (like in printed Hebrew books). That means:

    The first page should appear on the left when the book is opened.

    The second page should be on the right, and so on.

    Page numbering and layout should reflect this right-to-left flow.

    Text is in Hebrew on the right-hand pages, and translation on the left.

However, I haven't found a setting to define the book as right-to-left bound, as is standard for Hebrew (or Arabic) publications. Is there a built-in way to define the document's binding direction or page flow to match Hebrew books?

If this option exists, I'd be grateful for guidance on how to activate and use it.

If not, I'd also be happy to hear any suggested workarounds from experienced users.

Thanks again for your time and support!
David

Sadly, those feature are not in Scribus yet.

But I'd really like to see them soon...
