Localization
How does localization work with the ArcGIS for JavaScript API?
The API will automatically use the locale of the browser. If you don't want that behavior, you can set your application to a specific locale.
<script>
// set locale before JSAPI is loaded
dojoConfig = {
locale: "ja",
parseOnLoad: true
};
</script>
You can find more information in Internationalization with the Dojo Toolkit.
Support for right-to-left (RTL)
The ArcGIS API for JavaScript provides bidirectional support. To enable right-to-left (RTL), set the dir attribute in the <html> or <body> tag to rtl.
<html dir="rtl">
