Use language specific character styles, and language specific paragraph
styles. Hebrew only, English only. You can't mix English and Hebrew in
the same style. Things will get messed up.

I usually use a different colour, for each paragraph style, and each
character style,. Then, when the document is completed, proof-read,
copy-edited, grammar checked, etc., change the style colours to black.

To avoid the misplaced punctuation issue, don't use the non-dominant
language at either the beginning, or end of the sentence. Ideally, it
won't be the first, or last word, in the correctly punctuated phrase.
