Set language direction

Set the text directionality of a text element to support right-to-left (RTL) languages.
読み終わるまでの所要時間 2 分最終更新 1ヶ月前
You can use the 
language-direction
(
LanguageDirection
) attribute to set the text direction for visual elements, specifically whether it flows from left to right (LTR) or right to left (RTL). This is important for languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, which users read from right to left. This attribute corresponds to the dir property in HTML and cascades to child elements.
Language direction can impact the text layout behaviors, such as the position of ellipses and punctuation.
Language direction supports the following values:
  • Inherited (default): The element inherits the text direction from its parent.
  • LTR (Left-to-Right): Forces the text within the element to flow from left to right.
  • RTL (Right-to-Left): Forces the text within the element to flow from right to left.
You can set the language direction in UI Builder, UXML, or C# scripts.

In UI Builder

  1. Select the visual element you want to modify.
  2. In the
    Inspector

    ?

    panel, expand Attributes.
  3. From the Language Direction dropdown, select the desired direction.

In UXML

To set the language direction in UXML, use the 
language-direction
attribute. For example:
<Label text="Hello" language-direction="RTL" />

In C# scripts

To set the language direction in C# scripts, use the 
LanguageDirection
 property. For example:
new TextElement() {languageDirection = LanguageDirection.RTL};

Cursor movement in bidirectional text

In text input fields, cursor movement through bidirectional (BIDI) text depends on how the caret advances through logical character order versus visual order on screen.

Logical cursor movement

Unity uses logical cursor movement. The cursor moves through BIDI text according to the direction of each text segment. For example, when you press the Left Arrow in a sentence that mixes Arabic and English, the caret moves right-to-left through the Arabic portion, then jumps at the leftmost character of the English segment and continues left-to-right until it reaches the end of that segment.

Logical cursor movement example

Visual cursor movement

Some applications use visual cursor movement, where the caret moves to the next visual character regardless of segment direction. That behavior can feel more intuitive in some cases, but Unity does not use this model for UI Toolkit text fields.
