Something containing Left and Right is easier to translate I believe.
Leftwise and Rightwise perhaps?

For example in Greek "clockwise" and "counter clockwise" need many words to
describe.

"Clockwise" is: "Σύμφωνα με τους δείκτες του ρολογιού"

But

"Leftwise" is: "Αριστερόστροφα"
"Rightwise" is: "Δεξιόστροφα"

Both single words.
