Method Detail

isRtoL

public static boolean isRtoL(String script,
             String lang)

Determine whether this language is a Left-to-Right or a Right-to-Left language. If the language has a script, it is used for the determination. Otherwise, check the language.

Note: This is problematic. Languages do not have direction. Scripts do. Further, there are over 7000 living languages, many of which are written in Right-to-Left scripts and are not listed here.

Parameters:

script - the iso15924 script code, must be in Title case

lang - the iso639 language code, must be lower case

Returns:

true if the language is Right-to-Left
