Difference between textAlign Left and Start on a canvas 2d context?

Question

What is the difference between ctx.textAlign = 'start' and ctx.textAlign = 'left' when ctx is a a 2d context for a canvas?

Answer 1

The start value does align left when you are using a LTR (left to right) browser. In RTL browsers, the start value aligns right.

The start value is preferred for content/text information, because it will display in a way preferable to the reader (depending on browser settings). It is the default value for this attribute. It is preferable to align right or left only when you're sure it won't introduce localization problems with rtl/lrt languages.
