Michail Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Is there meanwhile a plan when APub Beta will be released in language versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoMoon Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Yes, after most tools and menues are added, otherwise it makes not really a sense and causes double work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other languages will appear later in the free beta process but we are not saying when, sorry. Currently we are trying to focus on the generic problems and will then address problems that can be caused by the localization process. As Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo are built from the same codebase as Affinity Publisher, I would expect Affinity Publisher to be multi-lingual when the 1.7 customer beta cycles of the Desktop 1.7 ADe and 1.7 APh are ready to look at .

Fixx Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hyphenation in local languages would be enough for me. desunk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not the same thing at all, so not the subject of this thread and my reply does not refer to text spelling or hyphenation. Supporting these means distributing files from a 3rd party. We need to decide what to do about those independently from the UI localization Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Fixx Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 True, they are not the same, but I would think most users are accustomed using english user interface. Hyphenation is instead a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyphenation is instead a must. 1. This is about the language of the UI! 2. You should be careful with such claims. I am not used to working with English user interfaces. And with many other users this is certainly similar. We are talking about a software for designers and not for programmers.

Fixx Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I don't think designers are any worse in english than programmers... but sure, here all professionals prefer english interface, elsewhere it may be different. desunk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Serif changed that strategy. Can you tell me what the current strategy is? When can we expect the most important language versions?

William Overington Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Which languages are most important depends upon who is considering that question! Could you have a list of text units (e.g File, Save As …, Export ... ) each having a code number and have a localizable version of the software where one just runs the program with the localization file of one's choice? That would mean that a version of Affinity Publisher localized to any one of many languages could be straightforwardly produced using translation of the localization file.

When can we expect the most important language versions? I will find out. We recently changed the translation procedure so now all our 1.7 apps are in sync (as I thought they would be when I wrote the above in September). I think we should be able to do all other languages for Publisher soon. We will need to check them internally first.
