Updated: I see the other responses now. Be sure you have the global preferences for Hindi digits also off.
@jamesh19144346,
With PR 22.1.1 (December 2021), the selection of a text engine (e.g. Middle Eastern) was removed and a "universal" text engine was used. I assume it was then that the Hindi Digits was changed to always be available as an option. Before, it was available only if certain language options were chosen. This forum thread was active just after that (January 2022). I don't know if we did not understand that change or if the change to Hindi digit selection was later.
In any event, I can create what you are seeing by selecting Hindi Digits in Preferences -> Graphics. When that is the DEFAULT, a new text layer is created with Hindi digits ON, and numbers preceded/followed by punctuation or spaces appear more or less backwards.
You can also select, or deselect, Hindi digits PER LAYER in the Essential Graphics Panel by clicking the wrench icon in the Text section.
I suspect you have the default on. Otherwise, you would only see this in layers where you turn it on.
Fixing this in many incorrect layers may be onerous. Changing the global default does NOT change any layers already set in the project. And this property is NOT set by text styles. You can select multiple layers in a single graphics instance, and set the Hindi Digits for all of them. But I didn't see a way to select multiple graphics instances and apply this setting.
Does anyone see a way?
@Ali Jaber Am I missing something?
@TeresaDemel This may not be your team. Please pass on as needed. The feature request would be to have a way to change multiple instances of this setting and/or to include it in text styles.
@Kevin-Monahan Please pass this on to the documentation folks: Documentation on this global preferences setting is on a page last updated 3/26/24: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html. The image is correct, but some of the text is not (e.g. "If you need support for Western, Chinese, Japanese, Latin, or Korean languages, select European and East Asian. If you need Middle-eastern or Indic language support, choose South Asian and Middle Eastern. " And correct text regarding Hindi digits appears under an old, and no longer present, heading for "Editing Text for Middle Eastern Languages." I'll also add my pet peeve: collapsing headings like this by default means that a "search on page" for "Hindi" finds nothing! And when I try to copy/paste "Editing Text for Middle Eastern Languages" I cannot because it is coded in some fashion. This type of coding now appears in many Adobe documentation pages and makes finding information difficult.
