Actually it looks like Peter is 100% correct here; I missed where you used the word "preferences" to describe where you'd set the langage. You'd want to use the Text Tool and change it here:

I wonder if it has to do with settings being in Arabic? Even when I change it in preferences to English USA it doesn't help.

Where did you change the language setting. It has to be done at the character level -- select the text and change the assigned language or change it in the applied style. Many users mistakenly believe choosing a language in the prefs sets it, but those settings only choose which dictionary will be used for any given language that is assigned at the character level.
