As a passionate Arabic designer, I find it frustrating that Affinity software does not support the Arabic language. With more than 400 million Arabic speakers worldwide, it's disheartening to see such a vital language excluded from a platform that promises inclusive and accessible design solutions. This limitation not only hampers my creative expression but also impacts countless Arabic-speaking designers who wish to leverage the powerful features Affinity offers.

Affinity, known for its innovative suite of tools similar to Adobe, has become a favorite among the design community for its affordability and robustness. However, the platform falls short in supporting Arabic, a language that is not only rich in history and culture but also integral to many designers globally. Having spent years honing my craft, I wish to express my creativity freely without the barriers of language constraints.

Design should be a universally accessible endeavor. By neglecting Arabic, Affinity inadvertently closes the door on an entire community of designers who could bring unique perspectives and designs to the global stage. Consider the potential growth and creativity the Arabic language could bring to Affinity’s user base. Arabic is not just a practical addition but a necessary one that aligns with modern inclusive software design.

I urge Canva, the company behind Affinity, to recognize the importance of including Arabic support in their software. By doing so, they not only enhance their platform's appeal but also make a robust commitment to inclusivity and diversity in design. This is an opportunity to be a trailblazer in the design software industry by acknowledging and embracing a global community.
