KDE Standard Actions RTL text locales

We have several with right/left pointing icons:

GoForward, GoBack, FindNext, FindPrevious, ViewNext, & ViewPrevious

The fix for RTL text has been to switch the icons. IIUC, this is the wrong approach. Since it leaves the toolbar buttons in the wrong locations. Instead, we should have the standard actions:

GoRight, GoLeft, FindRight, FindLeft, ViewRight, & ViewLeft

and the icons for these should not change for RTL locales. What should change is the function, menu string, and tooltip. The functions would be the same as our current Standard Actions but would be associated with these revised Standard Actions based on LTR or RTL locale.

That is, for LTR, the Standard Action FindRight should have the function FindNext but for a RTL locale it would have the function FindPrevious.
