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.

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.

the Paragraph Panel (for hyphenation)

I don't have it in front of me to check this, but if it is in the paragraph panel, wouldn't that imply that the hyphenation setting cannot be broken up within a paragraph?

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 :)

Thanks, @AdamW; I missed (or misremembered) that subtlety of the settings.
