Hi all! I live in Moldova, but I speak Russian. Moldova is not under sanctions. I have been using Affinity Suite products for a year now and I really like them. Updated yesterday to version 2 and suddenly found that now the interface does not support the Russian language. Guys, I understand that sanctions have been imposed on Russia and there is no way for people to pay with Russian cards. I understand that you are not particularly interested in that market now. But there are 3 arguments: A huge number of creative people who worked in Russia and speak Russian have left the country and are working remotely somewhere abroad. They continue to be your audience and customers. Very many of the russians have already made payment cards abroad and transferred their capital outside of Russia. Therefore, they continue to be paying customers for Serif and make a profit. In addition to Russia and the 146 million people living there, more than 300 million people speak Russian all over the world. That is, another 150+ million live outside of Russia and speak Russian. They are also your customers. Given all of the above, I do not understand why you removed the Russian language from your applications. Not everyone who speaks Russian is inside Russia and supports the war and the course of the government. Therefore, a big request to Serif is to return the Russian localization inside the Affinity Suite applications. Thank you for understanding the aspirations of your customers.

What fun. I did a vector Uralmoto. The text was a direct translation using google translate, and it's is not a bit addy, which suits the brand well. Unsophisticated and proud of not being a Harley Davidson. Playing with the type (Franklin Gothic) in the layout somehow worked for me. I'd never have got away with it in art school. But my work my rules.

Please add RUSSIAN language in app, affinity photo and affinity designer !
