Starfire Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Can Affinity support other languages? 1- I cant write Arabic in a correct form (from Right to left) in the frame text tool. However it is written in a correct form in the notification bar at the bottom. Quote The Arabic language is not displayed in the language bar.

walt.farrell Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Affinity does not support scripts that require right-to-left (RTL) nor vertical layout of lines.

Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

amirgelman Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Sorry to bump into this... but do guys aware of RTL Fixer? It is the best solution for writing in right-to-left languages on software that doesn’t support it. (like Affinity Designer, Photo and Publisher). The app is now extremely feature rich and supports pretty much all right-to-left languages, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Hebrew and more.

If you want more information:https://www.rtlfixer.com and why we need to purchase this fixer while the affinity team promised to fix it since 2019 ??? i think affainty intentionally don't want to fix it because they are selling the RTL fixer also.

All I have ever seen them say is that they would like to support RTL, but it is a very large effort and will take a long time. Where did you see a promise?

No, it's a potential work around if anyone wants it. Tech support try not to say "you are on your own". If they have seen someone else suggest something, so they are just being helpful, but apparently you are assuming we are "sketchy" Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
