Hi @Praveen Antoni Raj,

 

Thank you for reaching out. I assume you are already on the MENA(Middle East and North African language) version of InDesign. When you’re writing a text that has both Arabic and English in it, you need to switch the text direction to either right-to-left for Arabic or left-to-right for English. This will help you write both languages in the correct direction.

 Please refer to the below screenshot.

 

 

Let us know if that works for you. 

 

Thanks,

Harshika
