English/German comparison of terms used in Affinity-Photo

[Hilmar]

Hello,

Although German is my native language, I prefer the English version of Affinity-Photo.
I use tutorials and videos in both English and German.
It happens to me that I don't always know/understand the equivalent term/expression of the other language.

My question:
Is there somewhere a cross-reference/table for the specific terms used in Affinity-Photo for German/English?

Many thanks
Hilmar

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, Hilmar.

I've never seen anything exactly like that. If anyone has developed one I would expect to find it somewhere in the Resources forum.

Here's a search for Resources forum topics that mention German; perhaps something there will help: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&q=German&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=11

Hi Walt!

Thanks for the link. Since I couldn't find anything suitable, I tried myself to do some improvisation with the language settings
A first result is attached.

Hallo @Hilmar,

ich hadere auch mit den englischen Begriffen. Ich behelfe mir dann immer damit, dass ich die Beta Version der Programme in englischer Sprache benutze um Beispieldateien zu erstellen und zu verwenden, die ich dann in der der Retail Version mit deutschen UI öffne und weiterbearbeite. Das ist zwar massiv umständlich, aber ich lerne damit sehr schnell

NOPE!

So your best friend here is, to (re)use the Affinity Photo Online help files contents. And there then to switch between the german/english language for several used terms (Begrifflichkeiten) & explanations via the bottom languages choose toggle.

Or open two browser tabs, one in German and one in English.

You could even open two browser windows and position them side-by-side with both visible, one German and one English.

Thank you all for the very helpful tips
