Hi Adobe InDesign Team,

I would like to request an enhancement to the "Refine Your Text" option available under the Generate panel (similar to the Rewrite feature).

Feature Request: Automatic Punctuation Correction Based on Script/Language

What I need:
When a paragraph is selected, I would like an option under "Refine Your Text" that:
1. First reads and analyzes the selected paragraph
2. Then intelligently applies correct punctuation — but based on the language/script of the text, not a universal rule

The core problem:
Currently, punctuation correction tools apply English/Latin punctuation rules universally. This breaks Urdu, Arabic, and Persian text because these languages have their own distinct punctuation systems.

For example:
- English uses: , . ! ? " " ( )
- Urdu uses: ، ۔ ؟ — (Urdu comma ، Urdu full stop ۔, Urdu question mark ؟)
- Arabic uses: ، ؟ ؛ — (Arabic-specific punctuation marks)
- Persian/Farsi follows similar RTL punctuation conventions

Expected Behavior:
- If the selected text is in English → apply English punctuation rules
- If the selected text is in Urdu → apply Urdu punctuation (rumooz-o-auqaf / رموز و اوقاف)
- If the selected text is in Arabic → apply Arabic punctuation
- If the selected text is in Persian → apply Persian/Farsi punctuation
- Mixed-language paragraphs → detect per sentence or per segment and apply accordingly

Why this matters — A Global Need:
This is not just a niche request. InDesign is used worldwide by publishers, journalists, and designers working in dozens of non-Latin scripts — Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, and more. Millions of InDesign users across South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia deal with this problem daily.

Incorrect punctuation (e.g., using a Latin comma , instead of Urdu comma ، ) is a critical typographic error in professional publishing. Right now, users have to:
1. Copy the text from InDesign
2. Paste it into an external AI tool (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
3. Ask it to fix the punctuation
4. Copy the corrected text back into InDesign
5. Reformat and recheck the layout

This is a slow, repetitive, and error-prone workflow that breaks the entire design process. If Adobe builds this directly into InDesign's Generate panel, it will eliminate this friction entirely — and it will be a major reason for non-Latin publishers worldwide to upgrade to and stay on Creative Cloud.

A smart, language-aware punctuation refinement tool would dramatically speed up the work of millions of users who currently feel underserved by InDesign's AI features.

Proposed Workflow:
1. User selects a paragraph
2. Clicks: Generate → Refine Your Text → Fix Punctuation
3. AI detects the language/script of the selection
4. Applies the correct punctuation standard for that language
5. Shows a before/after preview for user approval

This feature would make InDesign's AI tools genuinely useful for non-Latin script publishing — a massive, underserved global market.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards
