I need to use some animated Arabic text in an After Effects file that I'm working on, but I don't have the
'Text Engine' option in my menu to change it to ‘South Asian and Middle Eastern’:

Hey,

It was a deliberate move to remove that from Preferences because you no longer have to choose either /ơr between Latin and South-Asian scripts.

The new Adobe Text Engine is equipped to support both intelligently.

Are you facing any trouble typing in?

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the AE forum so that proper help can be offered.

Hi Deividas22168002sqwm,

 

I did find the answer in another thread, but I can't seem to find it anymore!

 

Anyway, if I remember rightly, this feature has now beeen incorporated into the Paragraph panel. Select the text in question, then go to the Paragraph panel and select Reset Paragraph, that should do the trick.

 

Cheers,

Luke.

Thanks! Is there a way to set it to default to "reset paragraph" or have to do this every time I add a text line?

I’m not sure, I only needed to use it for one job, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you have to do it each time.


Many thanks,

Luke.

As I have to work with the Indic language, all the old MOGRT files are now useless in the new Premier Pro and have to be edited in AE, that too with an extra step with every single line of text.

Thanks, it was so helpful. 
But I wonder why Adobe has to keep changing this frequently it's so annoying.

For those who cannot find the text engine in your type settings, don't get frustrated, the solution is simpler than you'd think.

in the paragraph panel you'll find two buttons with an "arrow and a P" on them, switch between them to flip the typing order.
