Text or XML-like export

[Lutz Pietschker]

For translations I require an export/import feature. I have asked about Affinity's plans and suggestions here:

in the Feedback Forum but there was not a single reply from Serif. Basically, as lon as this feature (or something equivalent) does not exist, Publisher files are "untranslatable" for professional translators. I can expand on the request if I see any interest from Serif.

Serif generally does not discuss their future plans publicly.

Why don't continue in same thread?

Because nobody even reacted, and because feedback is not quite the same as a feature request.

I can understand that not every requested feature can be implemented, or implemented soon, but there are some strategic features for which I'd like to know Serif's strategy, just to help me decide what path to go. Import/export and translation support is one of them. It also is a part of many professional workflows – and it would be a cool way to distinguish Affinity from the shoddy solutions certain monopolists offer.

Both your topics are posted in the Feedback forum, which is where Feature Requests live. All posts in that part of the forum are read by the developers/planners to help in building their plans.
