adamtwar Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 In Affinity Designer, in the Format / Character / Show Character dialog, there is a Language dropdown list. On my computer, it lists: * None * Invalid * English * Polish (Poland) * German (Standard) * Spanish (Spain) * Russian Could you answer: 1. What exactly does this selection influence? Spelling? Hyphenation? OpenType "locl" feature? 2. If Spelling and Hyphenation — which engines does Affinity use for it? 3. How exactly is this list populated? I cannot figure out why my installation has these particular entries and others are missing. More clarification would be appreciated.

Dave Harris Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's a list of the spell check languages available on your machine. We use the OS X spelling engine. The language also affects OpenType. We don't do auto-hyphenation yet (other than soft hyphens), but when we do it will affect that too. If you go to the Mac System Preferences, Keyboard, Text, Spelling, Set up (at the bottom of the drop-down list), that list should match the list offered by Affinity. For some reason we use "Spanish" instead of "Español". That's a bug; I'll ask Andy to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
