interlinear translation typesetting


Recommended Posts

Hi, is there any way of positioning or anchoring tab stops in order to make a set of interlinear translation texts?

When you justify the first line - you can use tab stops to position words in 2nd and 3rd.

But once you change a font-size or anything, they whole layout crashes....

here's the thing:

One can't use text boxes for each word separately - as it would be a nightmare for selecting and editing

What's the best way of type setting such text in Affinity Publisher?

The trick is to use the View > Show Text Ruler so you have the ability to add and position tab stops. The second part of the trick is to have all your text in place with the top (or most important) line being the largest font-size. The third part of the trick is to select all the text when you set and position the tab stops.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 
Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
