Right to Left (RTL) Support for Hebrew and other languages

[goldeng]

Hi everyone,

Just signed up for the forum after purchasing the Affinity V2 Universal License.

I asked this question in a private message with Affinity support, and it was also asked in the Affinity V1 section in this forum but seems that no-one has asked this for V2. Hence, I'm raising this up here as well so this won't be forgotten:

It would be great if Right-to-Left (RTL) text writing support will be added to the Affinity products for both desktop and iPad versions. I'm aware that this may be difficult to implement, yet this is an essential feature for RTL users. The competitor Adobe has RTL support but as you all know the mandatory subscription plan is why we're here, and so RTL users would love to see this important feature implement.

Thanks!

I would like I to take advantage of this opportunity to thank Affinity for developing such great products, making it much affordable (and reasonable) for those who still believe and prefer a one-time-purchase permanent license per version, which the competitor Adobe doesn't offer anymore. Also, I would like to thank the community here for their feedback to making the Affinity products even better. Personally, I would love to see Affinity products line grow to include even more products, such as video and audio editing, so eventually combine an entire production software in one suite, just like the Adobe Master Collection.

Thanks!

Odd, I searched the key words and only found the post about V1.

Hope that Affinity will make RTL support happen in the close future.

Serif has stated multiple times here that RTL support is required vigorous reworking and intervention in text processing. So I wouldn't bet much on the speed of implementation.
