Willy Pimentel Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 How do i disable multiple languages in affinity? I just need English and Spanish... Quote Willy PimentelM1 Imac 16gb Mac os Ventura Latest
Old Bruce Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 To the best of my knowledge Affinity takes the languages from your OS, so you'll have to cripple that. And that is a very bad idea. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Old Bruce Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Key word is "Preferred". There are lots more installed. Go to Wikipedia and click on one of the languages.

Willy Pimentel Posted March 8, 2022 Author Posted March 8, 2022 i am confused as to the wikipedia reference. Ui understand the features of multiple languages. My question for affinity is "How do i disable multiple languages in affinity's language tab? I just need English and Spanish... Quote Willy PimentelM1 Imac 16gb Mac os Ventura Latest
Old Bruce Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 I guess you could try taking out the dictionaries for everything but English and Spanish. I don't know where they are located in the Affinity applications.

Even though they have Affinity in their usernames, they are not Affinity staff. The languages that are shown are taken from macOS System Preferences > Keyboard > Text > Spelling dropdown. Unselecting them from the Setup option still doesn't remove the from the list or from other apps such Apple's Pages. walt.farrell 1 Quote

You would need to be able to rewrite the Operating System.

wonderings Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 I did a comparison between Publisher and Indesign and both look pretty much the same, you see all the languages and no way to sort. I rarely need another language so not something I worry about or even think about. It definitely seems like it would be a nice thing to have for those jumping between languages on a regular basis to have a way to sort or keep at very least the languages set as preferred (in MacOS) at the top and everything else below. You can at least type out the name of the language you want and go right to it, this is quick, an extra step yes, but it gets you to what you are looking for a lot quicker then scrolling through.

MikeTO Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 There are some tools to remove undesired languages that should clean this up but I haven't tried them so use at your own risk. e.g., Monolingual: https://ingmarstein.github.io/Monolingual/ Quote Download a free PDF manual for Affinity Publisher 2.6 Download a quick reference chart for Affinity's Special Characters Affinity 2.6 for macOS Sequoia 15.3, MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) and iPad Air (M2)

This is the menu from Hell And to further clarify, I do plenty of multilingual menus. therefor i can have one line in english and one line in spanish. it will save me a lot of time cycling through additional languages instead of if there was only 2. THese would be a way to speed my workfloow. I just want to be able to hide from that menu the ones i am not using. I just need to see US English and US Spanish. I hope that this feature would be aded to future version. 1732929847_ScreenRecording2022-03-09at2_47_07PM.mov Quote Willy PimentelM1 Imac 16gb Mac os Ventura Latest

Requests for functional changes need to be posted in the appropriate section of Feature Requests & Suggestions, where the planners at Serif look for them. One suggestion I can make to you, which might help, would be to define a Text Style for English and another for Spanish, via the Text Styles panel. Then you can click on the panel's settings/preferences menu (aka hamburger menu; 3 horizontal lines to the right of the panel tab) and choose the option to make them default text styles for you. Then you might just be able to choose the text style to apply to text, rather than having to select the language each time.
