If you look across the hub, you'll see that the holes are in sequence alternating between the flanges, as in 1Left flange, 2Right, 3L, 4R.....47L, 48R, 1L. So it's straightforward, the spokes are in the same R/L sequence in both the rim and hub. It's almost (but not quite) impossible to get confused lacing radial spokes.

The truly OCD builders won't have any issues getting the valve hole lined up to the label. The spoke to the right of the hole, goes to the hole to the right of the label.
