'Text Engine' missing from my After Effects Type Preferences

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’:

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.

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'm trying to use Hindi in After Effects 2025 but the half alphabets of hindi aren't available or shown. The characters are shown with 'halanth'

Sorry to hear about your experience. Can you share more. What keyboard are you using, does adding an "a" with the consonant solve, or you think the "vyanjan" is not compositing with vowels at all?
