## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.UIElements](/engine/6000.3/script-reference/unityengine/uielements.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.UIElementsModule

```csharp
public LanguageDirection languageDirection { get; set; }
```

### Remarks

Setting `languageDirection` to `RTL` can only get the basic RTL support like text reversal. To get more comprehensive RTL support, such as line breaking, word wrapping, or text shaping, you must enable [Advance Text Generator](/engine/6000.3/manual/uitoolkits/uielements/uie-work-with-text/uie-advanced-text-generator.md).
