# MaskedTextBox Globalization

The globalization process combines the translation of component messages (localization) with adapting them to specific cultures (internationalization and right-to-left support).

To determine the currency symbol and other culture-specific properties, the MaskedTextBox uses the `kendo.culture.current` culture.

The globalization functionality of the MaskedTextBox is enabled through its [right-to-left support](https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/html-helpers/editors/maskedtextbox/globalization/rtl-support). For a complete example, refer to the [demo on globalization of the MaskedTextBox](https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/maskedtextbox/globalization).

For more information on using localization and right-to-left languages with Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core components, refer to the article on [globalization support by Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core](https://www.telerik.com/aspnet-core-ui/documentation/globalization/overview).
