@canva @Affinity Thanks for the reply! It’s not about UI languages; the issue is text direction. Affinity currently cannot type or render Right-to-Left scripts (Arabic, Hebrew) or Vertical layouts (CJK). Hope to see this added soon!

@crc_studio @Affinity Affinity is available in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Bahasa Indonesian, and Turkish. Keep an eye out for more languages coming soon!

[OFF●TOPIC] @Affinity doesn’t support RTL (Right to Left). A huge limitation for multilingual projects. Hard to work with Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, etc. Same for vertical text: Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc. ● More: affinity.studio/en/help/vertic…
