AvdB Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Can anyone tell me if the hyphenation feature within Affinity Publisher 2.0 works in the Dutch language? I occasionally get to see words on my screen, which are hyphenated, but are underlined in red. ----------------------- Kan iemand mij vertellen of de afbreekfunctie binnen Affinity Publisher 2.0 in de Nederlandse taal werkt?

If you're on macOS, the spelling dictionary is included with macOS but you have to install the hyphenation dictionary. If you're on Windows, you'll need to install both the spelling and hyphenation dictionaries. You can download the files from this page, read the instructions carefully because you must place the hyphenation dictionary into a folder you will create named nl_NL. Cheers.

Bartd Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Here another despairing user (Publisher 2.3.1, MacOS 14.3.1). What I tried to get hyphenation in Dutch working: downloaded the file hyph_nl_NL.dic.txt through the link on the FAQ page navigated to [user] > Library > Spelling created a new folder nl_NL moved het hyphenation file to this new folder restarted Publisher Dutch still doesn't show up as an option for hyphenation. The Auto setting doesn't do the trick. What to do? AvdB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would download again, following the instructions more closely. (Possibly just renaming what you have would work, but I don't know.)

You're right, The .txt file was part of the problem. Fixing that, I got Dutch to be shown as an option for hyphenation. But my text doesn't get hyphenated. Moving the .dic and .aff files from Spelling to nl_NL didn't work for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look also carefully through this thread here, the last posts of MikeTo & Nick1984 (...the later is on Win too according to his shown screenshot) that may show you how to solve your problem ... Aka ... Quote I still had to check the Auto Hyphenation in the Paragraph panel box.

But still my text is not hyphenated. Have you enabled Automatic Hyphenation in the Paragraph panel or Paragraph Text Style? And if it's existing text, and you're not using a Text Style, have you selected the text and applied the Automatic Hyphenation setting to it?
