dehskins Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Somehow Affinity identifies my document as Canadian and will not allow me to fix this quickly. I had to go to every instance of text within my hundred-page document only to have Publisher completely freeze. I want an easier way to do this, please. I did not assign this language to Affinity; it is not set up for Can-English. In the characters panel, it shows ca-eng. I only wish to use American English in my document.

dehskins Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 I figured out how to change this throughout my document. I use the select menu and select object then choose art text. I then go to the character panel and change the language to my desired language. Then go to edit>defaults>save and do the same for frame text and path text. That seems to work well for me. Then I save and restart and I have my preferred default active. Old Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't have to do this separately for frame, art, and path text. You should be able to just create a new document, create any sort of text object, type a word, set all the character and paragraph attributes the way you like them, and then save your defaults. That should set it for all types of text objects.

Did you create the document and type the text? Or did you import from someplace else (and if so, where)? What is your Windows system language and region set to? In your Publisher Settings, General, what Language do you have set for the User Interface?

dehskins Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 The preferred language on my Windows 10 PC was set as English Canadian. I'm sure that had a lot to do with my assigned language on Affinity Publisher. It is nice to know that you can change the default within the program without changing your PC setting.

Thanks. And what about the other questions? The default Language comes from a combination of your system language and region, and your specified User Interface language.

dehskins Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 The user interface(AP) is set for US-Eng. Only in the character panel was it showing Can-Eng. My Window system language was set to Can-Eng. Not an imported document, every document created defaulted to Can-Eng. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
