Can you share an image of what you mean?  I don't really understand this.

Do you mean that the directionality of the English changes in the target file?  Or do you mean that you just don't wan to translate it... which is easily resolved by hiding the column in Excel and then Studio won't extract it?

Here is a screenshot about my issue ! I need to let the highlighted containt in English as is in target language ! But the directionality is not good in Arabic !

Perhaps this article from Shai Nave would be helpful too:

I copied your source and translated like this:

Note the left to right marker I inserted into the text in Studio.  When I save the target file I see this:

It's very hard for me to know if this is correct or not, but I think it's what you wanted to achieve.  Does it help if you add the Left to Right marker as Evzen suggested, and as Shai explains in the detailed article I shared?

Many thank for your help Paul ! The option LTR in Studio works well ! Thank you

Hi Paul,

I get another issue this time with CSV files opened in Libre Office ! I tried to customize the Toolbar and add RTL and LTR option but the arabic content is still reversed ! Please note that the csv file contain both arabic and english in the same cell (same sentense )

Could yo please help ?

Kind regards

You should really open a new thread with a new issue.  It's hard to track what the question and answers refer to when you keep adding new issues to the old thread, especially after they've aready been answered.

In the meantime perhaps the problem is with Libre Office?  Does this help?
