Version 2 (V2) Doesn't Have Language Support for Indic Languages—Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Odia, Bengali, Etc.

[Ronald N. Tan]

This thread is for people (like me) who are interested and hoping for support of Indic languages in Affinity Version 2 (V2). Sadly, there is still no support for Indic languages as of this moment, the 9th November, 2022. Features may be added in a future point-update or point-release.

Let's all remain positive and hopeful that the staff and developers at Serif keeps the dialogue for Indic Languages and RTL Language support as open.

I genuinely am willing to pay the 40% discount back to Serif if they add the Indic Font Support. Just hire despo Indian developers who like affinity already. They'll  probably do it  without prompting

I remain hopeful and positive, but based on the development cycle of Affinity Suite of Applications (Designer, Photo, and Publisher), I am not holding my breath. Here is to hoping that Serif puts Indic and RTL languages on their internal product development roadmap for version 3.

Until that day arrives, I will vote with wallet and not upgrade to Publisher 2.X or to the full Suite of Applications.

Yes we also won't buy Affinity until it can support indic, RTL and vertical script.

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this for years now and am starting to lose hope... Publisher would be such an amazing product if it had proper Indic language support.
