alsarraf Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 It seems that the developers of Affinity Photo do not have any plan to support RTL languages any time soon. I recommend using Pixelmator Pro as an alternative for Affinity Photo, as it supports RTL. It's really amazing, and a one-time payment app as well.

rasoolakhter Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I purchased Affinity Designer before a year and now 90% i work on Affinity only but really missing RTL support. I am really waiting for Arabic support. Reza.Allami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alig Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I totally agree, I need this feature too. Reza.Allami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reza.Allami Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Well it's been a while no admin posted here, so i'm not sure if RTL support has became a priority yet or not? Is there any chance to see this feature in 1.7 or near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'm sure we would have heard by now if RTL support were coming in version 1.7. I don't expect to see it before version 2.0, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it still isn't here by version 3.0.

Come on, RTL support in Affinity products is something both those from Israel and the surrounding Arab countries can agree on. Think of it as contributing to world peace. nicoco, Alfred and Reza.Allami 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOPS5 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I am using the draw, page and photo plus series of products on Windows and Illustator CS6 on OSX (pre subscription only), and I am waiting for RTL support before switching to .

suliman Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I purchased Affinity Designer yesterday its great app I love it but I surprise its not support RTL so I can't finish my work on it because of that. so please add this issue to your top priority. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhulfiqar Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I've purchased Affinity Photo yesterday and I didn't even look for the RTL support because I thought such a company that compete with Adobe should have this already fixed. I then was shocked when I wanted to use an Arabic text in my design. Please fix this issue since it has been almost 5 years when people started talking about RTL support in this forum.

WellnessDS Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 +1 please for adding RTL support. I have some customers who use RTL language sets, but I'm unable to use Affinity to meet their needs. pointery and nicoco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicoco Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Not supporting RTL is the absolutely worse anti-feature Affinity currently has. You're outing half of the freaking world! Be PC, it makes tons of dough these days. pointery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrg0lden Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) I'm wondering why don't you just use HarfBuzz? It's MIT licensed, so it's bright from a legal side. And it's even used in many products, Chromium as an example. I purchased a license for Affinity Designer and was thinking of leaving Photoshop to Affinity Photo but it seems like I made a wrong decision. I even suggested Affinity apps for some colleagues considering them as well-made apps as I thought they were in-place replacements for adobe's apps, but I was wrong. At least share your roadmap with us so we can know where exactly this feature is. Edited April 8, 2019 by mrg0lden Reza.Allami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
