Requested Assignment I'm just reporting this problem. I don't want to fix it.
This is your friendly Microsoft Issue Bot. I've seen this issue come in and have gone to tell a human about it.
I don't think the layout should be plainly mirrored the way it is here. I have never seen the numbers on a numpad to be swapped this way for Arabic and also as far as I know charts in schools are taught the same way they are in LTR, i.e. negative numbers to the left, positive to the right. The enter key arrow pointing this way is also not the best either. Perhaps have your native speaker colleagues test the localizations?
Note that the situation with Hebrew might be different.
I am a native speaker, and I can say the situation with Hebrew is the same. The numbers in Hebrew (and everything math related) is LTR. In theory, only the location of the sidebar should change.
Can we get an update on this? The graph is still mirrored.
If you need help with the expected behavior in Right To Left flowing languages:
- X increases in value from left to right
- Y increases in value from bottom to top
- Numbers are written with most significant number furthest to the left
Because of this behavior, the graph control can be wrapped in an explicit FlowDirection="LeftToRight"
assignment, which would resolve all problems.
