[Fix RTL for Arabic, Persian and Hebrew languages]

It's an app that works independent of affinity. From what I saw, it also support other software that has the same issue with RTL writing.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @YoramS.

If “it” refers to reversing Hebrew letters then it’s very straightforward, but for other RTL languages there are contextual rules for character shaping.

Ok go at enough... but  I would argue that for photo and designer you could make a simple flag (check box) and whenever a character is types you can send that character and a HOME KEYUP which should basically allow you to type you characters in a way that the contextual stuff should take care of itself.

This will NOT work for pasting texts from other sources though.

And for those who still want to use the current version  ... there are free workarounds like using a website like:

http://spellbackwards.com/

Or

https://www.binarytranslator.com/reverse-text-generator

If these don't work well with Arabic ( did not test as I don't have Arabic fonts on my machine) ... you can try this for Windows

It's 20 lines of code (at least in Windows)  

I saw an Israeli company has created and selling a software that does it on MAC 

I think Serif is missing out on A LOT of potential customer by not even exploring this ... it is really NOT A BIG Deal to code 

It's a low hanging fruit that is being missed here
