I recently changed my language to arabic but I found that the GUI is flipped horizontally which is not so nice and kinda nauseous. How do I make the GUI left-aligned with arabic language still present? Thanks!

    Could reproduce it. Hmm.. Interesting. ;) Some googling made me believe this is not a bug, but a feature. Suppose it's unlikely that there is an easy workaround available to do what you want.

As Arabic is an RTL (right-to-left) language, you cannot. The UI elements are changed position, because that is how they are supposed to be displayed, in order to fit the right-to-left orientation of the language.

Another answer on UX StackExchange has some more info on why it is necessary.
