You can set the 'direction' property of a spacing layout to "Left to Right" instead of the default: "Leading to trailing". This way the views will not be mirrored in RTL languages.
Unfortunately, you have to set this for every constraint of the views you don't want mirrored. Constraints added with code can be set this way: [self addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"H:|-0-[_photoView]-0-|" options:NSLayoutFormatDirectionLeftToRight metrics:nil views:views]];
