# Text Direction

You can change the text direction of the Hint component with the [`direction`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/labels/api/hintprops#id) property. `direction` accepts `start` and `end` as values, with `start` being the default.

[Demo Source](https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/labels/hint/direction/func/source.txt)

Label components support RTL and the `start` and `end` values will respect your globalization settings. For example, when [RTL](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/labels/globalization#right-to-left-support) is enabled for the app, `start` sets the Hint label position to the right.
Text direction affects only the positioning of the Hint label and does not change the direction of its contents (for example, it would not reverse them).
