Hello,

When I insert Latin letters in an Arabic sentence, they come out not the same order as the original text.
for example if I insert
g o

it would appear in the segment
o g

is there a way to fix this?
noting that I use Trados2015.

Many thanks in advance

Probably you have to format the text as non-Arabic Sep 22, 2018

Arabic is written from right to left. If the software is not told the inserted text is not Arabic it will think it is.
