 I think that if you press the keyboard combination Ctrl+Shift+H that this will display the hidden tags that are controlling the subscript. You'll probably see something like this: 
 
 If you don't display the tags you see this: 
 
 Once you can see these controls you can move them, like this for eaxmple: 
 
 I also recommend you learn how to handle tags:

 I don't think you are showing the tags. 
 
 There is no trick to this... if you have subscript text then you must have tags in there controlling it. So you need to display them to see what you're doing. 
 You could also try pressing Ctrl. (Control dot) after the last subscript letter as this keyboard control might also help you stop using that control. 
 If you read the article I referred to you then you would learn how to do this.

 Well... you're slowly getting there! 
 The article actually explains the problems for you if you are reading it carefully. It doesn't matter where the tags are, source or target. 
 
 Do this: 
 1. delete tag 
 2. delete tag 
 3. delete tag 
 4. delete tag 
 5. move this one to wherever the subscript should stop 
 It's quite clear now that you are showing tags that you are typing inside the tag pair that controls the subscript. It will never change unless you type outside of the tag pair. 
 Another way to do this is delete all the tags and then just select the text that should be subscript and click the subscript icon in the ribbon.

Thanks for the video. It is strange, that you cannot place the cursor BEHIND the closing tag, this seems to be a bug to me. 
 As a workaround I suggested to type the WHOLE translation and only then apply the necessary formatting to the characters needed. What you do is, however, applying the formatting, BEFORE you typed further text in the original font. Please type the complete sentence first and apply superscript afterwards.

 Thank for the video... I agree it looks buggy. But I tried this into Arabic and after reproducing your problem I noticed I can use the END key on my keyboard to achieve this. Try that.
