I have text in Hebrew and while I can change the alignment, the punctuation marks would be on the wrong side of the sentence. I have tried the following methods:

  1. Following the method here: https://superuser.com/a/726306 I enabled CTL, restarted LibreOffice, and tried pressing Ctrl+Shift+D and Ctrl+Right Shift. Neither of them worked.
  2. Following the method here: https://superuser.com/a/795738 I went to VIEW>TOOLBARS>CUSTOMIZE, selected "TOOLBARS", selected as the target "STANDARD", in the category selected "Format", pressed the right arrow on the "RIGHT TO LEFT" & "LEFT TO RIGHT" items, pressed Ok. I see no changes in the interface.

What I can do is right click on the text, select "paragraph", go to the alignment tab, change text direction to right to left, press Ok. While that works, I write a lot of bilingual papers and I would like an easier way than that. What can I do?

You can do as you suggested, and then save it as template that you can always return to. File > Templates > save it as template.

I think to make that option work for you, you have to go to Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languages, and in the 'Default Languages for document' section, you should enable Complex text layer. Then, you can choose the language you wish in that part.
