Arabic text is correct direction, but period goes to the right, not left at end of sentence.

I am having a problem with the period in Arabic. When I copy and paste Arabic text into my multilingual document, it moves the period to the right(at the beginning of the sentence) instead of left(at the end of the sentence). The Arabic characters all read from right to left, just not the period. Does anyone have a fix for this?

In order to fix this, you need to have Middle Eastern version of Illustrator. Open Paragraph panel, highlight your text, then click to select "Right-to-Left Paragraph direction"

In the Paragraph Options, try checking the "Roman Hanging Punctuation".
