# Right-to-Left (RTL)

Notepad++ support both Left-to-Right (LTR) and Right-to-Left (RTL) environments. The main user interface determines the layout using the translation file (if the file contains the 'RTL=”yes”' attribute in the 'Native-Langue' tag, it will enable the RTL UI, otherwise it will be LTR).

Each View can also independently set the RTL or LTR mode, simply select View->Text Direction LTR for LTR text display and View->Text Direction RTL for RTL text display. Please note that Scintilla currently has issues with RTL text display for LTR text and indicators (especially if RTL and LTR are combined).
