## Globalization Support

Out of the box, the Telerik and Kendo UI ButtonGroup delivers globalization support which enables you to adapt the component to different cultures by providing options for translating the text messages of its constituent buttons (localization support) and also by allowing you to render their content in a right-to-left direction (RTL support).

### Localization

By default, the ButtonGroup shows the messages of the rendered buttons in American English (EN-US). To change the displayed language, include an additional localization script file in the document, which will replace the default messages in the component prototype with their equivalent translations.

### RTL

Right-to-Left (RTL) support represents the ability of a library, website, or application to handle and respond to users who communicate through right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, and others.

The Telerik and Kendo UI ButtonGroup comes with built-in RTL support, and enables you to render the content of its buttons and set their position from right to left.
