anweid Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 Affinity Designer 2.0.0 (Windows) shows German texts in the form constructor's status bar (image attached) that can impossibly be understood without re-translating them to English and having a good laugh: The text 'Zurückgeben=Form erstellen' surely should stand for 'Return=Create form', but what it actually means is 'Give back=Create form' (I might borrow some money from somebody who hopes that I return it someday). Correct German would be 'Eingabetaste=Form erstellen' (which contains the official name of the 'Return' key), or 'Eingabe=Form erstellen' (which omits the word for 'key', but is still as understandable as the English original, which also omits the word 'key'). The German text 'Escape=Ausgewählte Flächen erneut auswählen' means 'Escape=Select selected areas again', which confuses me (why would I want to reselect already selected areas?). Even re-translating to English is no help here, but hitting 'Escape' helps: What you apparently mean is 'Escape=Reselect areas', which could be translated as 'Escape=Flächen neu auswählen' or just 'Escape=Neu auswählen' (which stands for 'Newly select', omitting the word 'areas').

Staff Pauls Posted November 17, 2022 Staff Posted November 17, 2022 Thanks for the report - the English is actually reset selected areas so we'll put something better in and sort out the return key Quote
