Make the text UILabel Right Aligned if the text is written in Arabic

I applied Language Localization in my iOS application. So, now the user can install the Arabic language in my iPad application.

I get a localized string response from the server, and now I want to set this localized string to mine UILabelin right-to-left format using Right Alignment .

Update:

My server response is already in RTL format. Now I just wanted to set the alignment of the text to the right when I have Arabic text in UILabel.

Now I have to write code to set UILabellanguage-based alignment .

So, I just want to know if there is any property for UILabelsetting that I can make the text UILabelRight Aligned in the case of the Arabic language.

Display the text, as usual, in English, if you receive Arabic text from the server, there is no need to align it. Just align the text to the right.

Try it.

 [[self label] setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentNatural];

AutoLayout + RTL + text alignment UILabel

Hope this solves your problem.

Swift3 //MARK: UILabel

extension UILabel {
func decideTextDirection () {
    let tagScheme = [NSLinguisticTagSchemeLanguage]
    let tagger    = NSLinguisticTagger(tagSchemes: tagScheme, options: 0)
    tagger.string = self.text
    let lang      = tagger.tag(at: 0, scheme: NSLinguisticTagSchemeLanguage,
                                      tokenRange: nil, sentenceRange: nil)

    if lang?.range(of:"ar") != nil {
        self.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.right
    } else {
        self.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.left
    }
}

:

detailLabel.text = details[0]

detailLabel.decideTextDirection()
