(please answer if someone knows).
Tomi Engdahl has told me it can be both polarities, no matter which
polarity the main current has but i am not sure about this.
This is correct. However a triac _will_ have different sensitivity in
different "quadrants" (the term that the datasheet will used to refer to the
different combinations of gate polarity and other polarity).
