Glyphs Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Is there a way to set Hyphenation settings in another language than english, so that the words are cut at the right places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 HI Glyphs In the character panel under the language section there is a drop down to select the language of any hyphenation dictionary you may have installed Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyphs Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Thanks! I didn't notice it was already here. 2 other questions: Is the French dictionary available yet, and is there a way to activate both French and English dictionary at the same time for the same document?

Yes, Publisher ships with French dictionaries, including a hyphenation dictionary. You can have any number of languages within the same document. The spelling language used for any string of text is controlled by the Language setting in the Character Panel, or by the Spelling setting in the Language section of the Text Style applied to the text. The hyphenation for any string of text is controlled by the Hyphenation setting in the Paragraph Panel, or by the Hyphenation setting in the Language section of the Text Style applied to the text. -- 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...

OK, but is there a way to have 2 languages applied to the same style, when the same text contains a phrase in English and another phrase in French, for example?

You could use the style to mark the overall text, say as English, and then select the French phrase and mark it as French using the Character Panel (for spelling) and the Paragraph Panel (for hyphenation). Or you could define a style for French with both the spelling and hyphenation settings, then select the French phrase and assign that style. -- 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...

Good point, @fde101, I hadn't thought of that. However, it is also available via Text Styles, which should be able to work differently within paragraphs. Might be worth an experiment unless someone who knows provides a definitive answer -- 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...
Staff AdamW Posted December 11, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hyphenation settings, score, zones etc is a paragraph attribute, but spelling / hyphenation language is a character attribute. Alfred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Thanks, @AdamW; I missed (or misremembered) that subtlety of the settings. -- 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...
