boye Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I am not sure whether this is a bug or not, but apparently Danish hyphenation hasn’t been implemented yet (version 1.7.0.167). Will this issue be fixed before final release? Best, Boye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Just to be sure: Did you specify Danish as the language for your text in the Text Frame via the Character studio/panel (Language section), and do you have the hyphenation language specified as either Auto or Danish? -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boye Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Yes, I have specified Danish in the Character panel and also set hyphenation to Auto. (Unfortunately, it is not possible to select Danish as the hyphenation language. See the attached screen dump.) Furthermore, I have checked the auto-hyphenation option in the Paragraph panel. (The second screen dump.) In shorter texts, it is quick to manually insert soft hyphens. However, this would soon be tedious when working on a document with more than a few pages.

walt.farrell Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I know that Publisher does not ship Danish dictionaries for spell-checking or hyphenation, at least on Windows. I also think that on Mac it integrates with the OS-provided spell-checking, which probably explains the availability of Danish on your system at all. I don't have that language option on Windows. Apparently, though, your system doesn't have the Danish hyphenation dictionaries installed, or you'd be able to specify Danish as the hyphenation language, too. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boye Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Thanks, Walt. Hopefully, in the not too distant future Publisher will offer a hyphenation option in my native language. Best, Boye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, in the not too distant future Publisher will offer a hyphenation option in my native language. On Windows a Publisher user can install additional dictionaries for both spell-checking and hyphenation. Perhaps that is also possible on Mac, in which case you could install the hyphenation dictionary yourself.

Chris_K Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 HI boye As there are so many languages and dictionaries for them we only ship with libraries the app natively supports. Anything outside of this will require the user adding their own dictionary cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any hints of how I might proceed with this? Best, Boye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really prefer Affinity to supply needed dictionaries for all european languages. At least. As links at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi boye If you go to Finder > Applications and ctrl or right click on Affinity Publisher Beta you will get the option to Show Package contents. From here go to Contents > Resources > Dictionaries, you can create a folder in there and place the dictionaries you require. These should then be found when you next start the app 4 minutes ago, Fixx said: What does this mean? It ships with language support for languages the app has been translated to?

boye Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Thanks, Chris. I will try your solution when I have found a suitable Danish hyphenation dictionary. If my memory serves me right, someone recently posted a link in another thread on this forum. Best, Boye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
