but those screens sometimes get embedded on a plane, on in a medium where
direction has significance, and then you have to choose whether slide 2 is on
the left or the right of slide 1.

1. Presentations don't have locales...
2. If you mean app locale / UI language - that wouldn't help

I don't think we can avoid some kind of toggle widget. As for the choice of
initial value when going to Slide Sorter view, that could perhaps be based on
the page style of the first Master slide, or the master for the current slide,
or the app UI language. The latter may offer the more consistent user
experience even if it may require more flipping on the user's part.


There is also the question of whether we want the have the document itself
persist a choice of direction. That's a question I don't have an answer to.
