My most common situation in which this is a problem is the following Hebrew text (English translation) more hebrew..
For most language, you wouldn't mind if the " ( )" will be in English or in other language, but Hebrew is written from right to left, which means the Parentheses are written in reverse. Meaning, if the closing parentheses will be in English, it will apear as: Hebrew text ((English Hebrew (Or something like that) there fore, the following parentheses or comma must be at the same language as the paragraph language, and not as the last-word language. My override now is hebrew (english ) hebrew, or hebrew english , hebrew [note the space before the comma or the closing parentheses], and that's both ugly and wrong. An Hebrew example: כותב בעברית (english) עברית -- In this way its typed when the closing parentheses is hebrew כותב בעברית ((english עברית. -- here the closing parentheses is english Thanks, Ronen.
