How the Arabic letters in the Affinity and Word same ?

[Bisma]

Hello guys, 

I have difficulty to translate or use the text from the Arabic language in the app Affinity Designer. When I copy Arabic text and paste in Affinity, the Arabic text is not even appropriate as there is in Word. And when I tried the Tools from the website http://arabic-text.com it worked. But the signs read in Arabic text is very close together, not like in Word.

 

Thank You

What you see at before vs. after is the same text content but with its characters in different order. If you set both samples to the same font the similarity will be more obvious.

Arabic language uses Right-To-Left ("RTL") which isn't supported in Affinity yet. There are some threads about this, in one some months ago somebody posted a website link which switches a pasted text for your further use. Unfortunately I don't remember the forum and thread, possible someone else would tell or you might find it via forums search for "arabic" + "html:\\".
