This question comes up in the globalization section of the switch explainer.

In a ltr environment, the "on" position of the switch is usually on the right side of the switch. Is it the same for a rtl environment or should the "on" position be on the left side of the switch?

It should switch sides. Multi-label switches should also change their order.

@aphillips As a bidi user, I concur. This is also what happens mostly in practice (based on personal impression, not on extensive research).

I only have some experience with RTL work for clients, and I did notice we switch sides. So would be lovely as an author not needing to think about this 👍
