This can be fixed by the application by adding right-to-left mark in the first position of the string.
This can be done by the translation team or by using the text processor (for read only text).

1: It is not reproduced on every preference page and dialog, it must have a rootcause in SWT layer.
2: If we adding right-to-left mark or using text processor to fix this,  we must change many string

So I think it is better fix this in SWT layer

The cause is in the underpinnings used by SWT. In this case, GTK differs from Win32. In SWT, this differences can be seen as a bug or as a platform difference. See Bug 41474 for a deeper discussion on this matter.

Only the text processor would change, no string would have to change.

The issue is not char order issue, it is style issue, and I tried with text processor, it does not work.

Sorry for the confusion, the TextProcessor in its current state will not fix this problem. We would have to change it to handle this difference in win32/gtk.
