Of note: on one project I did we supported 8 languages (3 of which were asian which normally are not L2R-T2B, but which have begun accepting a limited form of L2R-T2B), all were implemented with L2R-T2B! Arabic was not supported.
IMO, the solution is to put labels above the fields, and not try to do label-field L2R or R2L!
