Rolf Bron Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I want to use Dutch hyphenation / language check in Publisher using Mac OsX Mojave, I've been searching the forum on tips, but still haven't found any solution on installing the language libraries. I've noticed there are many requests on this item, so I think Affinity should REALLY address this issue with a simple install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian R Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Hi there, In the past it did work. But for a month ago, my dutch hyphenation doesn't work any longer, although the spelling files are in the right folders on my system. Anyone any idea? Has it anything to do with te latest update of AP? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt.farrell Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 From what I can tell that seems right, but not being a Mac user I can't verify it. Next: can you provide a screenshot showing the Paragraph panel Spelling Language pulldown? And the Language and Hyphenation settings while the cursor is in a paragraph where you think it should be working? And one showing the Hyphenation Language pulldown in the Character panel.

Christian R Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 In the Character panel I don't see 'Nederlands' as an option for 'Hyphenation Language'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, Character Studio reflects what languages have been activated in the macOS system preferences for spelling. The settings below are in the macOS System Preferences > Keyboard pane, Text tab (yes, it's pretty hidden). Once you get to that Text tab, go to the Spelling: dropdown, and at the bottom of the dropdown will be Set Up…. That brings you to this screen: With the settings I have above, Publisher only offers me the choice of "English" and "Français." If I check more options in that macOS spelling preference, Publisher updates accordingly. Przemek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian R Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Interesting and I see, but in Publisher it won't make any difference. (un)Marking a language, indeed is showing/hiding that language in Publisher. The problem is that when I do have set everything to Dutch (Nederlands) the magic of hyphenation not appears...

Just a guess, but you might try renaming that nl-NL dictionary in your screenshot to nl_NL and restarting the application.

Christian R Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I just had my Eureka moment by finding out there are two 'spelling' folders. One for the whole system, one in the 'user library'. I added the required documents in the last one and the hyphenation worked perfect... walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1984 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Unfortunately, with all the tips, I still can't get it broken on Dutch text. Is there anyone who can help me with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi and welcome to the forums. You can find instructions in the FAQ below or in the free manual I've written for Publisher 2 (the download link is in my signature). You've posted in the v1 forum so note that both of these are for v2 and not v1 but installing dictionaries is unchanged.

Nick1984 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Hello Mike, Thanks for the quick reply. I followed the instructions via the link you provided. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work I think I'm almost there, but I think I'm still missing a step. See picture below.

walt.farrell Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 2 hours ago, Nick1984 said: I followed the instructions via the link you provided If you downloaded the file(s) directly from GitHub you may have downloaded them in the wrong format. It's quite easy to get it wrong, and difficult to get it right. For that reason, Serif provided direct download links in another post in the FAQ topic, and you should download from there instead. To see if the files are correct, open each in a text editor, and see if you have plain text or HTML code. If it's HTML code, it's wrong and needs to be replaced.

MikeTO Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Also, did you turn on Auto Hyphenation in the Paragraph panel? I tested a few words and found that be-schei-den should hyphenate as shown here when Auto Hyphenation is selected. BTW there's no need to choose Nederlands from the Hyphenation list in Character > Language, you can just leave it on Auto.
