right-to-left UI is wrong
i tried running codeblocks on my windows machine.
My windows version is English , "normal" GUI direction.
My locale is Hebrew/Israel
CodeBlocks think I want to develope software in hebrew,
and REVERSE the whole window, including even characters in code editor from right-to-left.
This is wrong:
A) writing code in right to left is strictly impractical, since letters, numbers, and aritmetic operations has different behavior, and it is impossible to read or write code this way.
B) my system indeed has hebrew locale, but the default UI is left-to-right, and the UI itself is strictly English.
Please see my interesting bug reports about wxWidgets :)
1. the mirrored characters (and screenshots)

2. wrongly identifying right-to-left as locale:

3. question & screenshots at stackoverflow
possible solution:
DONT CHANGE the UI without asking the user.
or
ALLOW the user to revert the UI/Locale/Language to US/English.

Possible through the settings, so it is solved already.
