    Idan,

    I hope the following may help.

    If you have CC subscription, you may install the relevant language version:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/change-install-language.html

    To temporarily enable right to left typing, CC:

    1) Select Show Indic Options in Edit>Preferences;

    2) You can Select Adobe Line Composer as it works out with following steps

    2a) Window>Type>Character Styles;

    2b) In the Character palette dropdown menu click Character Style Options;

    2c) In the following window click Middle East Character Formats, then click the dropdown for Character Direction and click Right to Left

    This should work for editing documents in RTL languages and you can choose any compatible font.

    Idan,

    Just that you may prefer the language installation as a lasting solution.
