    I am using InDesign CS6 and writing scripts in JavaScript. I have a template with some paragraph styles defined. In my script that generates a document from this template, I need to change the language of some paragraph styles to [No Language]. I have tried lots of different statements, but nothing will let me change it. How is this done?

    Thanks!

    Here are some of the statements I’ve tried:

    1. myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Calendar”).paragraphStyles.item(“Month”).appliedLanguage = myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Calendar”).paragraphStyles.item(“Dates”).appliedLanguage;

    Worked.

    2. myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Calendar”).paragraphStyles.item(“Month”).appliedLanguage = “English: US”;

    Invalid value for set property ‘appliedLanguage’. Expected LanguageWithVendors, Language or String, but received “English: US”.

    3. myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Calendar”).paragraphStyles.item(“Month”).appliedLanguage = “English”;

    Invalid value for set property ‘appliedLanguage’. Expected LanguageWithVendors, Language or String, but received “English”.

    4. myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Calendar”).paragraphStyles.item(“Month”).appliedLanguage = myDoc.languages.item(“No Language”);

    Invalid value for set property ‘appliedLanguage’. Expected LanguageWithVendors, Language or String, but received nothing.

    5. myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Calendar”).paragraphStyles.item(“Month”).appliedLanguage = app.languagesWithVendors.item(“No Language”);

    Invalid value for set property ‘appliedLanguage’. Expected LanguageWithVendors, Language or String, but received nothing.

    6. myDoc.paragraphStyleGroups.item(“Calendar”).paragraphStyles.item(“Month”).appliedLanguage = app.languagesWithVendors.item(“[No Language]”);

    Invalid value for set property ‘appliedLanguage’. Expected LanguageWithVendors, Language or String, but received nothing.

    Hi Dan,

    maybe this is helpful: https://forums.adobe.com/message/4073579#4073579

    For me this is working: curDoc.paragraphStyles[3].appliedLanguage = “$ID/[No Language]”;

    Your suggestion works for me too. I thought I had tried that already, but evidently I didn’t. Thanks very much for your help!

    There was a discussion earlier on the subject here on InDesign Sercrets:

    Script to change the language of all text on document

    Is there a script for changing language to multiple paragraph styles?
