Overview
The auto_direction package automatically adjusts the text direction of widgets in Flutter applications based on the detected language, switching between left-to-right (LTR) and right-to-left (RTL) layouts. It simplifies internationalization by dynamically adapting UI direction without manual intervention, ensuring proper rendering for languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and others that use RTL scripts. The package integrates seamlessly into apps targeting multilingual audiences.
