@Aviel answer as a swift UILabel extension

//MARK: UILabel extension
extension UILabel {
    func decideTextDirection () {
        let tagScheme = [NSLinguisticTagSchemeLanguage]
        let tagger    = NSLinguisticTagger(tagSchemes: tagScheme, options: 0)
        tagger.string = self.text
        let lang      = tagger.tagAtIndex(0, scheme: NSLinguisticTagSchemeLanguage,
            tokenRange: nil, sentenceRange: nil)

        if lang?.rangeOfString("he") != nil ||  lang?.rangeOfString("ar") != nil {
            self.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Right
        } else {
            self.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Left
        }
    }
}

How to use it ?

label.text = "كتابة باللغة العربية" // Assign text
label.decideTextDirection()          // Decide direction
