Need RTL language

[Artistkw3d]

 

Hello Affinity Community,

We hope you kindly accept this suggestion and request,
As you know, Affinity has a lot of impact on the people in the Middle East area.

Accordingly, It would be quite nice to support the RTL writing direction for languages such as Arabic, Hebrew and Persian.

Kind Regards,

I wish you guys add RTL

I don’t understand why voting was suggested in the Twitter thread. Serif have always made it very clear that new features are not added purely on the basis of the number of users supporting their introduction.

If you demand a "vote", even though Serif has repeatedly stated, that similar referendums have no meaning in his decision-making, I am voting against the implementation of the RTL. I won't use it in any way, so I'll be happy if the features that most users use are implemented.

As a big fan of Affinity's programs, and since I work on it on a daily basis, I always wished that Affinity photo would support writing in Arabic without the need for external programs, and every time a new update was issued, I expected Arabic writing to be supported in it, I hope this post will communicate our voice. And to finally get the awaited update

Just for the sake of interest, a lot of votes on this topic have been uttered and quite a long time ago.

A lot of people need and work with LTR Indic scripts. A lot of people would like Korean, Polish and Romanian to be available as interface languages. A lot of people can’t wait to see support for footnotes and endnotes. A lot of people want ...

I didn’t say I’m not interested in RTL! I was simply pointing out that arguing in favour of a particular feature because a lot of people need or want it is not going to get us anywhere.

Nor is you arguing that it is not getting us anywhere, not helpful at all.!

I fully endorse the calls for RTL support in the Affinity apps, but there have been many threads about this and it has been made abundantly clear to us that such a feature will not be added in the near future. Serif added support for Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and one or two other RTL language for version X5 of some of their ‘legacy’ software products, but they depended on outside help and they dropped the feature for subsequent releases.

[omaralwashmy]

We need this feature soon ..

no need it interface we need just typing, and we hope add all function RTL in future released 

 

Best Regards

You can't compare the new Affinity apps, to the old Serif Plus programs.

Affinity is very popular in the ME, even before supporting RTL. once RTL is implemented, Affinity will be the standard in graphic design very fast.

Can't wait to see Hebrew Support as part of the Affinity Feature set.

I was about to purchase all three programs after I try them for a while, but I stopped when I realized that I can not write in Arabic. I have postponed the purchase until Arabic is supported.

I hope that happened soon .. because I'm sick of adobe Purchase policies.

[pointery]

i ' m already waiting a few years for hebrew support.
please support it asap.

[migo33]

I agree. Add RTL. in this day and age with multi-channels and global audiences software should support both writing directions. in HTML it's a no-brainer, I am sure it's not that complicated adding this to the Text tool.

[migo33]

Too bad @LondonSquirrel,

The moment I will be handed a RTL project I will move back to Adobe and probably forget about Affinity.

Просто разместили в поддержку аффинити, не зная, что это такая старая дискуссия с большим количеством участников. Очень странно, функция до сих пор не реализована. Конечно, покупка программного пакета Affinity, к моему сожалению, отменена.
