And if so, how do they label headphones, contact lenses etc?

    Chinese I think?

    • Left - Zuǒbiān
    • Right - zhèngquè de

    Not sure if that counts, considering it’s using the Latin alphabet and the language is tonal, etc.

    EDIT: and Ilocano:

    • Left - kannigid
    • Right - kusto

    EDIT2: and Indonesian:

    • Left - kiri
    • Right - Kanan

    EDIT3: and Irish:

    • Left - chlé
    • Right - ceart

    Going to stop now. I’m literally just choosing languages in google translate.

      Ah the dangers of Google translate and synonyms. You got the wrong definition for right when translating to Irish, the one you have means correct, deis is the word for right (direction). Clé is left, the h appears in certain contexts for grammatical reasons.
