Just to mention that, in the current implementation, [Next] finds
the next occurrence following the direction of writing (and guess
also reading, but I have no idea of how these RTL languages work),
i.e., looking at the video, it moves towards left if I set the
Hebrew language. As from my understanding and intuition, this
should be correct for a person who is accustomed to reading from
right to left, so what is more on the left comes after what is
more on the right, on the same line.
So I would prefer keeping the current "next/previous" labels.
Just thinking, ...
In RTL languages should the buttons then be
[Next] [Previous]
rather than
[Previous] [Next]?
Probably yes, but this would go beyond cosmetic changes, and it would
probably imply consequences on the entire GUI (e.g., relative order of
the undo/redo buttons, more importantly of the [increase
indentation]/[decrease indentation] ones, icons for
[left/right/justified text], etc... (who knows what else?). After all,
what counts is supposed to be the buttons contents/icons, and their
position is the last issue.
