How can I change the page direction based on the local setting of the user? from left to right to right-to-left? Should this be done using JS only, or there is a better way? please note that I need to Change to value, not check the current culture settings.
Using ASP.NET MVC5
Thanks

To set the text direction of the whole page in HTML 5, you can set the dir attribute on the html or body element. (In HTML 5 the dir attribute can be used on any element).
For instance if you're setting the CurrentThread CurrentCulture in the request, you can use the following in your view:
<html
dir="@(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.TextInfo.IsRightToLeft? "rtl" : "ltr")">
Based on http://afana.me/post/aspnet-mvc-internationalization.aspx
Note that if you're using a CSS library such as bootstrap, you'll also need to get an rtl-modified version of the CSS, because the page direction won't affect css rules.
