Almost 7 years and the space bug at the end of any "Right to Left" text is unresolved! This is a huge problem for all RTL text users, I wonder why it's so hard to solve this one?

Asalam o Alaikum anaselkhatib. m sure u fixed your problem but to be sure that things are working fine at ur end. This problem occured with me too but i got it fixed inthe Essential Graphics. >>>Select the Text which is split (disjointed) in letters and go to the Essential Graphics , plz check the Paragraph symbol and change it from left to Right (if u hover the mouse on it says"right to left typing". This worked fine for me . and finally , under the font style box (regular, bold, thin,) there are patterns of lines , plz choose the one on the extreme right , when u hover mic over it says " Right Align text". Hope it helps

I had this problem and thanks to South Asian option in Graphics settings, solved it. But now I have another problem. My problem is that when I type in Arabic and Persian, the signs are not placed correctly. For example when I write a sentence and I put a (.) at the end of the sentence, instead of being at the end of the sentence, it appears in the begginning. Can anyone help me with this problem in Captions part?

If you are using PR 2021, there is a new setting for South Asian and Middle Eastern captions. Right click on the Caption Track header, and pick "track settings." If you are using PR 2021, try that first.

Let us know if that works - or doesn't!

I know none of this makes sense, but apparently you need to paste the text into Adobe Premiere backwards. Here is a webiste that will reverse the Arabic text for you.

Type in Arabic in the Input column > hit the Process Input button > Copy the generated text from the output column > Paste it in the legacy title in Adobe Premiere > select the pasted text and pick a font that support Arabic.

I am usign Courier New font, and I have no trouble so far.

Hi how are you? I have tried this and it works, however I can't seem to change the font of the text any more? Any idea why? thanks

@ralzayani,

This is an old thread, and a universal text engine is now used. You should not need to paste backwards text.

A screenshot of the font issue might help.

I tried both the Legacy Title and the Graphic Text and both work perfect writing Arabic text that I tested

using more than 1 Arabic font family. The letters are perfectly connected.

Make sure you set Type to South Asian and Middle Eastern in the preferences before starting any text,

sometimes you will have to restart premiere after changing these settings

Hey kevin,

unfortunately no I still have a problem and it is really weird that some letters don't connect in the legacy tool but it does in the graphic tool .

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to use the legacy tool (which I'm sure adobe will remove at some point) is the new tool works correctly?

the legacy tool goy a lot of controlling options like aligning .right to left ...and it is really hard to have a full control in the new title

Ah, so the letters SHOULD all connect?

I have only done Arabic text a couple of times before - the most annoying thing is the reversing when you copy/paste. Would be good if adobe could implement automatic reversal when you paste.

Well, not all characters have to be jointed but some. For instance the two words you pasted into Premiere should read as…
