Description
Expected Behavior
Negative numbers in RTL languages still display the minus sign on the left of the number when setting a variable.
Related to #2043 (negative numbers in boolean blocks) and #1707 (negative sign is incorrect when editing a numeric value), but keeping them separate since fixing one block may not fix the others.
Actual Behavior
[Not
Steps to Reproduce
Switch to Persian (Farsi) in the language menu

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue after switching the language to Persian (Farsi), then trace the set-variable block's number display and its RTL handling. Compare the rendered negative number with the expected placement of the minus sign, and verify the behavior in an RTL language without regressing related numeric blocks.
