Bug Description

When using Mixxx with a locale setting for a right-to-left language, the decks are swapped in skins so [Channel1] is on the right. However, the crossfader behaves as if it is set to reverse (hamster) mode in a right-to-left language. Should we automatically invert the preference for hamster mode when switching text layout directions?

There are a bunch of problems with right-to-left layout.

I had the same issues in my real live. An it turns out that no one in such countries is using an right-to-left OS, because you usually have problems everywhere and such a system is simply unusable because no foreign software company is able to do it just right.
They use the English version.

Android for example has not switched the GUI, but only translates the strings. Maybe this is a solution for us.

There is also the question if they use Indian or Arabic digits.

I would remove right-to-left languages from Mixxx until we have an active native right-to-left contributor.
