Hello,  
I designed a very simple do nothing app with 2 buttons. One button is bigger than the other.  
When testing it on my phone the layout of the buttons is flipped. I validated that its due to the fact that my phone language is set to Hebrew. If i change my phone language to english the layout is perfect.  
Is there a way to work around it ? I tried the advanced option of Direction and change it from inherit to ltr but it didnt work for me.  
How can i work around it ?  
BTW : I dont have this issue with AppInventor2 .  
Thanks,  
Nir.

Are you live testing or installing?

Are you trying Android/iOS/both?

Thanks!

This happens both on live testing and install.  
I am using Android only.  
Thanks.
