First of all, this is in the reverse order from the standard saying: it's the left hand, not the right hand, that doesn't know. More importantly, the grammar is wrong. It should be
"The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing." But there's already a sentence for that (#4884463), so it might be best to delete this one.

If the 2 linked sentences match the other version, wouldn't it be better to edit this one, so the translations will get merged by the duplicate-merging script?
