My Illustrator is English with Arabic Support too. I'm able to have vertical text by turning "Standard Vertical Roman Alignment" on from the Character's Panel fly-out menu.

The important thing is to combine above option with a non-Middle Eastern composer in Paragraph's Panel fly-out menu, this way together will let Illustrator know that you're dealing with non-Arabic script.

In that case you maybe do not have that option and would need a different language.
