Multiple South Asian languages and English in one eBook - issue with Tamil and Urdu
Hi,
I'm a newbie to creating ebooks. I've followed the instructions and surprised how easy it is.
However I'm stuck on something and after researching for most of yesterday evening and this morning I have no answer.
I'm very happy with how Calibre has no issue with most of the South Asian once I embed them (discovered this yesterday). However, there is a big issue with Tamil and Urdu text.
It's own viewer for epub and mobi is perfect, however when I export the files, Adobe Digital Designs does not displays odd characters for the Tamil and doesn't even recognise the Urdu text, (Image name 1).
The Readera app on my android phone misses out a few vital lines in the Tamil characters for epub, and does the same for .mobi and also messes with the Urdu text, otherwise it's perfect. (I've scribbles 're' and k for Kindle and epub on the images).
The Kindle app on my phone does the exact same thing with Tamil and has rearranged the Urdu. For some reason the Hindi is highlighted and it also renders some of the text dark grey when in black background mode, (I've scribbles k on the image).
I've also attached how the original should look ('or' on image)
I'm hoping someone can help and also hope this is the right category.
Is it possibly anything to do with the opf file? Do I need to include this in the upload.
Note: I am going to make this ebook available from my own website and not any other external website, like Amazon.
Thanks
