--- Comment #7 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz1 at gmx.com> ---
> Sheet > LTR (only enabled if tools > options > language: CTL is checked) switches the sheet direction so column A starts at right.

That's true and appropriate.

> Cells take a default style with the language defined in tools > options > language > default language for documents. 

A style is not a language. The cell's Text Direction direction is not a cell's
language. A cell's direction is independent of the default language - it is
"Use superordinate object settings".

> If you set this to Hebrew you cell content in RTL.

You can't set a cell's text direction to "Hebrew". 

Also, a user should not have to set the default language for documents to
Hebrew, for the Text Direction to match the sheet direction by default.

> Don't see what we can improve here.

I hope this comment clarifies it.
