# Globalization

The globalization process combines the translation of component messages with adapting them to specific locales.

For more information on how globalization practices are implemented in KendoReact, refer to the [overview article](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/intl). For more information on the globalization aspects which are available for each component, refer to the article on [globalization support](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/intl/globalization-support).

The following example demonstrates how to set the locale and text direction of an Arc, Linear, and Radial Gauge.

## Internationalization

The internationalization (i18n) process applies specific culture formats to a web application.

For more information, refer to:

* [KendoReact documentation on internationalization](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui-develop/components/intl/i18n)
* [kendo-intl (the base Internationalization package on GitHub)](https://github.com/telerik/kendo-intl)

## Messages

The Gauges do not provide built-in translated messages or the option to implement and localize custom ones.

## Right-to-Left Support

The following example demonstrates how to utilize the RTL support for the Gauges.
