Ah - this is controlled by an entry in the basic Qt localization file
for Arabic (qt_ar.qm), but we don't have a similar file for Persian
(AFAIK, there isn't a Persian Qt localization, or at least I didn't
find one in a quick search).

To work around this, I have added the RTL entry to the TeXworks_fa.ts
file, but we'll need to make sure this doesn't accidentally get lost
in future updates.

Please report this to the translator responsible for the Inno Setup
localization; you can find details at
http://www.jrsoftware.org/files/istrans/ which is where I found the
Persian language file.

Is it critical to change this before shipping texworks, because the
current text is clearly wrong/misleading, or is it a matter of
preference or style? I'd prefer not to modify that file in texworks
(that leads to maintenance complications), but wait for an update from
the upstream author, unless it's a really serious problem.

Ok, thanks; I have merged the updates into the repository.
