What is the Disable Right-to-Left in Library Settings #2486

What does this mean?

Doesn't seem to do anything-yet?

Also swipe action screen/page motion seems opposite than expected. Right to left swipe causes page to "turn" in opposite direction than swiping in all other apps. Might above setting have something to do with this?

When a Right To Left (RTL) document is open, some controls in the user interface switch sides. However, we received feedback from Japanese users that some may prefer to preserve the LTR direction for some UI controls.

Swipe configuration should be configurable in my opinion. For example on MacOS the default "natural" direction is totally unnatural for me :) (learned habits)

The Arabic language is read from right to left. Here is a demonstration with an Arabic EPUB file:

I hope it provides some clarification.
