The chart's labels also look misaligned in rtl direction, so you can change only chart's direction to ltr with CSS: <style> .RadHtmlChart { direction: ltr; } </style> <div dir="rtl"> some text <telerik:RadHtmlChart ID="RadHtmlChart1" runat="server" Width="600" Height="400"> <PlotArea> <Series> <telerik:ColumnSeries Name="Series 1"> <SeriesItems> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="30" /> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="10" /> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="20" /> </SeriesItems> </telerik:ColumnSeries> </Series> <XAxis> <LabelsAppearance RotationAngle="33"></LabelsAppearance> <Items> <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Item 1" /> <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Item 2" /> <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Item 3" /> </Items> </XAxis> </PlotArea> </telerik:RadHtmlChart> </div>
