The VisualEditor explicitly sets all images that are inserted using the dialog as thumb and right. "thumb" is fine, because it's not default, but that's what people want most of the time, but "right" shouldn't be there. "right" is the default for left-to-right Wikipedias, so it's redundant in English. The default for right-to-left Wikipedias is "left", so for these languages this behavior is unexpected. The best solution is simply not to set the alignment and let the user change if it is needed.
Should we remove the alignment completely (and risk people not putting one in? what's the potential side-effect of that?) or change the 'right' to 'left' on RTL wikis?
Unless I'm missing something, just remove if it's the default anyway. See an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Amire80/ve_default_image_alignment
