Joshuac Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi, Affinity Designer is easy to use and powerful. But, is it possible to enter Chinese character? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andrew Tang Posted October 17, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 17, 2014 Yes it's possible. You need to set your system keyboard to a Chinese variant - either typed or handwritten. In Affinity, you need to select a font that supports Chinese characters. Leigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howai.man Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Have you tried copy and paste Chinese into the text field? It crashes the application. predick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andrew Tang Posted May 29, 2015 Staff Share Posted May 29, 2015 Have you tried copy and paste Chinese into the text field? It crashes the application. The screenshot isn't working. Can you upload it again? You need to attach the image as that link still points to your desktop. You can also try using imgur.com if that is easier. :) I will try to copy and paste Chinese into a text field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackamus Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I have now started to exchange emails with a firm in Hong Kong. Although they can understand English and write in English it can still be difficult to understand each other. I have now downloaded a Mac app called 'Translate' which cost less than £3 that will translate into over 50 languages among them are 3 Chinese versions - Chinese, Simple Chinese and Traditional Chinese. My Hong Kong contact prefers the 'Simple Chinese'. When I now send him an email I write it in normal English instead of 'pigeon' English then copy and paste it into the translator, select the language and in seconds I have it in Chinese, I then copy and past the Chinese into the email. This is now helping him improve his English. Although I have been sending him Designer drawing I haven't tried translating the drawings annotations. I will next time and let the forum know the result. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed! Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools.
