    You could use the global HTML5 attribute dir with a value of auto here, like so:

    <input type="text" dir="auto" />
    

    From the specification:

    The auto keyword, which maps to the auto state Indicates that the
    contents of the element are explicitly embedded text, but that the
    direction is to be determined programmatically using the contents of
    the element (as described below).

    Note: The heuristic used by this state is very crude (it just looks at the
    first character with a strong directionality, in a manner analogous to
    the Paragraph Level determination in the bidirectional algorithm).
    Authors are urged to only use this value as a last resort when the
    direction of the text is truly unknown and no better server-side
    heuristic can be applied.

    http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/elements.html#the-dir-attribute

    As this quote suggests, it would be better to find out on the server side which direction should be used, but you can use this if you have no way of knowing it.
