Get the direction of the current locale. This is the expected
reading direction for text and UI.
This function depends on the current locale being set with
setlocale() and will default to setting the Gtk.TextDirection.LTR
direction otherwise. Gtk.TextDirection.NONE will never be returned.
GTK+ sets the default text direction according to the locale
during gtk_init(), and you should normally use
gtk_widget_get_direction() or gtk_widget_get_default_direction()
to obtain the current direcion.
This function is only needed rare cases when the locale is
changed after GTK+ has already been initialized. In this case,
you can use it to update the default text direction as follows:
setlocale (LC_ALL, new_locale); direction = gtk_get_locale_direction (); gtk_widget_set_default_direction (direction);
