    Are you asking about text direction? Depends on the language.

    It seems to me that you don't mean which way the submenu opens, but rather which way the text goes, ie from Right to Left or Left to Right.
    You cannot change which side the submenu opens, but usually in the settings of all programs and the operating system, it is possible to choose the reading direction either from left to right or from right to left. Check the programs settings, it's usually available there.
    In Notepad++, for example, in the View menu, at the very bottom

    That's definitely not normal.

    It could be a bug of notepad++ related to the right to left text direction that impacts the menu itself.

    Try to set windows (temporarily) to the left to right text and see how npp behaves. If it behaves correctly, it's a bug, contact the developer.

    What do you see wrong?
    The program is included in English, so the layout of the elements corresponds to the selected language. OS settings are ignored.
    If you enable a language with a different text direction (screenshot above), then the context menu is organized in the style of the system language.

    What the OP asked.

    The menu opens to the left rather than to the right

    Thank you. OP's message and screenshots confused me. It's about the position of the pop-up menu, not the text in it.
    Indeed, OP need to write to the developer of the program. The position of the menu is taken based on the localization of the OS with the wrong position relative to the localization of the program.

    Yep.

    The menu behaviour would be as intended, if the language chosen in NPP was not English, but a right to left text.

    Likely the combination of OS in right to left + NPP in LEFT to right was not taken in account, a minor bug, but still a bug.

    Yeah, it's very hard to a small developer to test or even imagine all the endless combinations on such context. That's why the feedback from the affected users is important.

    The task manager is not in English, if I understood correctly your setup, so this is the way is supposed to work.

    Please post a screenshot so we can skip any language barrier

    Perhaps maybe @Dark Dinosaur can add more useful info other than my educated guesses.
