I understand that texts may be LEFT or RIGHT on different languages, so that END or START may be useful for international apps.

However, LEFT or RIGHT as Gravity are also simple placement of things. If I want my button or icon to be aligned to the RIGHT, why on earth does lint complain on using END instead? Probably, if use END, the layout will become broken on a foreign device.

    For the same reason as far as i know. Button placement are also right-left oriented on those devices – Marcos Vasconcelos Dec 26 '19 at 19:07

    Because in right-to-left languages all the UI goes right-to-left, not only the letters. [Here](https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D8%A6%D9%8A%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9) an example. – m0skit0 Dec 26 '19 at 19:11
