InDesign keeps pasting as Arabic Language Dictionary

Working in InDesign CC2023 and it's still happening.  ANY resolutions here?

I am having the sam problem (in Dutch). It is not a preferences problem. It is indeed a glitch. I copy the Dutch text form a text box (Language: Dutch) and align left to another text box with the same spec's and the copied text suddenly switches to "Language: Arabic" with right aligned and "International Composer Alinea". Even though the standard preference is "Adobe Composer alinea". This makes me carzy!
Does somebody have an answer yet? 

Having the same problem described by rickburress. totally slowing me down. 

Adobe please can we have a fix?

For all the wonderful things your software can do this is so annoying.

Same issue. Work in an english Indesign, writing in Danish, but copy turns out in greek.. 

Hi - Has anyone found a way to resolve this issue or find a work-around?  I am having all the same experiences described throughout this thread by others, I have my settings as English USA, have NEVER worked in Arabic, nor do I need to.  

Very sad to see this is not answered, but finally I know that I am not alone! It happens regardless of what language I'm pasting. Today it was Chinese- everything came in flush right and the characters were in reverse order, language dictionary was Arabic. One factor that is part of my situation is that the client built the file long ago using the ME version (for whatever reason since they only work in English). To get around this problem I only use Paragraph and Character styles and never any local formatting, then select the entire text and click the Remove All Overrides button in the Styles panel. But I shouldn't have to do that, as we all know.

Having the same issue. None of the fixes on this thread have helped. This is infuriating. Once again thrilled that I'm renting software with these types of glitches.

I'm having the exact same problem and it just started. InDesign is showing the dictionaries as Arabic almost everywhere and I've never used anything but English USA for language. It's now showing USA English in the dictionary prefs panel and shows the correct user dictionary file, but Character panel, spelling panel and spelling prefs panel all show Arabic and when I switch them they automatically switch back, even if I save and quit right after.

Dictionary Prefs show the correct settings

Character pane shows Arabic as language and when it is set to English it just resets to Arabic

Spelling always shows Arabic as the language, which means none of the words ever are seen as valid.

Changing the User Dictionary in the spelling tab simply switches back to Arabic right after clicking "Done"

I am having what I think is the exact same problem. I have INDD 2018 English USA version (latest version) on a Mac running OSX 10.12.6. I work in multiple languages for a client and often move back and forth from English to numerous languages such as Chinese, French, etc. I am taking text from a source INDD document and placing it into another INDD document(for example French from one INDD document and pasting it over existing French text in another INDD document, and so on for each language). For this particular project I am working in 6 different languages and in every single language when I paste the text from INDD source file to INDD destination file it pastes it as Arabic (or right to left) composition. Even though none of these languages I am working in are Arabic (or even right to left), the language indicator at the top tool bar switches it to Arabic, changes the text to Adobe World Composer, and makes it flush right (as you would in Arabic). I have to go back each time I cut and paste to change all of these settings. Never have encountered this problem in my years working in multiple languages until now. Adobe staff, have you found any resolution for this issue? It's really slowing my work down. Happy to provide additional information if needed

I am also having this problem. I installed the Arabic version to create one document. And even though I have now tried to uninstall that version, this issue of copy and paste still happens.

If I create a new document, and copy the information into it, it pastes in arabic. If I then override any style sheets to correct the issue in the second document, and copy it again into a third document, it seems to copy successfully. Obviously that is a long-winded, unsatisfactory solution.

Rick, did you find an answer?
