When you want to use standard Checkbox Control, set FlowDirection of path to LeftToRight will work but if you create a custom template it doesn't work so Make a custom Style template for CheckBox like this and set FlowDirection of main Grid to LeftToRight" :

     <Style TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
        <Setter Property="SnapsToDevicePixels" Value="true" />
        <Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true" />
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="30" />
        <Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{DynamicResource MyFocusVisualStyte}" />
        <Setter Property="Template">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
                    <BulletDecorator>
                        <BulletDecorator.Bullet>
                            <!-- ****************** here set FlowDirection to LeftToRight *********************************** -->
                            <Grid      FlowDirection="LeftToRight" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}" Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}, Path=Height, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                          MinHeight="30" MinWidth="30" ShowGridLines="False">
                                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                                    <ColumnDefinition Width="4*" />
                                    <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                                    <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                                    <ColumnDefinition Width="4*" />
                                    <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />
                                    <ColumnDefinition Width="1*" />

Answer 2

I had the same problem, and this is the best solution i found. The path is what draws the tick, so just changing its flow direction back to LeftToRight makes it draw as you would expect.

<CheckBox Content="My Checkbox" FlowDirection="RightToLeft">
    <CheckBox.Resources>
         <Style TargetType="{x:Type Path}">
               <Setter Property="FlowDirection" Value="LeftToRight"/>
         </Style>
    </CheckBox.Resources>
</CheckBox>

Answer 3

<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="ArabicStyle" TargetType="{x:Type CheckBox}">
            <Style.Resources>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type Path}">
                    <Setter Property="FlowDirection" Value="LeftToRight"/>
                </Style>
            </Style.Resources>
        </Style>
    </Grid.Resources>
    <CheckBox Content="My Checkbox:" Style="{StaticResource ArabicStyle}"/>
</Grid>
