* cinnamon-control-center 5.4.7
* Distribution - Mint 21
* Intel HD Graphics 530. I don't know what graphics driver I'm using. Whatever the default is.
* 64 bit
I realise this probably isn't the right place for this issue, but I couldn't find a way to submit an issue about source text on the launchpad translations page, so I'm complaining here. If there's somewhere else I should have used, I apologise.
Issue
The rotation section of the display settings has the options: Landscape, Portrait Right, Portrait Left, and Landscape (flipped).
Half of these make no sense. What is portrait right supposed to mean? I set it, hoping that the screen will be rotated to the right, but no! It's rotated to the left instead!
The previous versions, taken from a Mint 20.2 install, were: Normal, Counterclockwise, Clockwise, and 180 degrees. These are much better: clear and unambiguous, with no room for misinterpretation. Everyone knows which way a clock goes.
(side note: the en-GB for Counterclockwise should probably be Anticlockwise instead. Either way, I can still understand it perfectly fine.)
Steps to reproduce
Open the display settings and look at the options for rotation. Set one of the portrait ones, and observe that it does the opposite of what you wanted it to.
Expected behaviour
The options are clear and unambiguous, as in the previous version of Mint.
