@DevKR,

Indeed there is, and it's nice and simple, it's defined by the language record (e.g. "hebrew" or a self-localized version of "arabic" in the [sys_language] table - more info here. There is no need to code this,

@Rose J Lever,

I'm afraid this isn't our best practice, as hard-coding text direction in any HTML in the platform will mean that the language's intended direction (as per my original link) will not be correctly honoured,

Generally speaking, hard-coding anything in HTML (or any code for that matter) is not advisable due to the technical debt and admin overhead it introduces,

Many thanks,
Kind regards
