+The `DirectionProvider` component is used to set the text direction (`ltr` or `rtl`) for your application. This is essential for supporting right-to-left languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian.
+
+Here's a preview of the component in RTL mode. Use the language selector to switch the language. To see more examples, look for the RTL section on components pages.
