Use bidirectional text in Numbers on iPhone
Numbers supports bidirectional text, so you can enter and edit text written from left to right (such as in English or Chinese) and from right to left (such as in Arabic or Hebrew). You can use bidirectional text in paragraphs, shapes, and table cells.
Note: You can use any template to create a bidirectional spreadsheet, but to see templates designed specifically for another language, you must set the primary language of your computer to that language (go to Settings 
> General > Language & Region, then set the language). When you create a new spreadsheet, you see templates for that language.
