--- Comment #3 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
I think "left" and "right" should be replaced with "start" and "end" and should
act relative to writing direction.
"left" and "right" makes no sense for traditional east Asian top-to-bottom
writing mode, because lines are arranged from right to left, but "start" and
"end" makes sense for that writing mode. 

A larger problem in line numbering dialog are the settings "inner" and "outer".
The wording "inner" and "outer" do not describe a physical position but a
position relative to the binding edge, and that depends on the writing mode.
Currently "inner" and "outer" are exchanged for RTL.
And "inner" and "outer" makes no sense for traditional east Asian top-to-bottom
writing mode, because the binding edge is neither at start nor at end of a
line.
