Environment

Resolution

It is not recommended to have two different languages in the same template as it can create alignment issues. Arabic languages are from right to left, whereas English languages is from left to right.

We recommend to have two different template created with language field set as "English" and another document for "Arabic".

Or you can use table and add required text in English in one side and Arabic in another and generate the document.
