- klodolph 8y agoApple Human Interface Guidelines do indeed recommend the "OK" type buttons on the left for right-to-left texts (and put the menus on your mobile apps on the right instead of the left, etc). Computers do not generally use vertical text for localization, for example, Chinese and Japanese are left-to-right as far as the computer is concerned. (This doesn't apply in all cases just to the way UIs are localized. You can still make text vertical, for example, see https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/ https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/)
