Because mangas for example are right-to-left, and at least the Italian
translations are now (in the last 10/15 years) published (paper) according the
original format. I don't know how it works in other countries. Just a quick note.
If this is not the original use case, I'm curious: Ganesh, what was the use
case you had in mind?
