Globalization is the process of designing and developing applications that can adapt to different cultures and languages. The Syncfusion Block Editor component provides support for globalization, enabling it to serve users from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

The Block Editor supports Right-to-Left (RTL) mode, which reverses the layout of the component to accommodate languages read from right to left, such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. This feature can be enabled by setting the enableRtl property to true.
