Question

directionality

This option allows you to set the base direction of directionally neutral text (i.e., text that doesn’t have inherent directionality as defined in Unicode) within the editor. This is similar to the use of the 'dir' attribute when using content editable elements by themselves.

Type: String

Default Value: 'ltr'

Possible Values: 'ltr', 'rtl'

Example

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  directionality : 'ltr'
});

language

This option allows you to specify the language that TinyMCE’s user interface will appear in. That is, the toolbar buttons and menu items. By default, TinyMCE will use US English as the language of the interface.

If you wish to use a language other than English, please follow these steps:

1. Download the language pack you wish to use from here.
2. Unpack the language file into your tinymce/langs folder.
3. Set the language option in your TinyMCE configuration to the language code in the list below (which you’ll also find on the language pack download page.
4. Confirm that the language has been set successfully by loading TinyMCE.

Please note, the language code you set in your TinyMCE configuration must match the filename of the language file. If the language file is not found, TinyMCE will not load.

Type: String

Default Value: en_US

Example

In this example we will set the editor language to Swedish.

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  language: 'sv_SE'
});

If a language you need is not available, you may wish to translate it yourself. To contribute to translating TinyMCE, go to our Transifex translation page and sign up, then request to join a team or create a new team if your language are not listed.

language_url

When using the language option to set the user interface language you may choose to place any language pack(s) in a directory other than the default. If you do this you need to provide a simple URL to where the language file is located. We recommend using a site absolute URL.

Type: String

Example

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  language_url : '/languages/fi.js'  // site absolute URL
});

You can find and download languages here.
