René van Elst Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 This may have been asked by someone else already. PagePlus offers hyphenation in Dutch, may I expect Publisher to do the same? I really need it... Quote

Publisher allows you to install your own spelling dictionaries and hyphenation dictionaries, and many additional dictionaries are available on the web already. You can look for dictionaries that are compatible with Hunspell, or start with the dictionaries made available for LibreOffice. For example, the Dutch dictionaries available here should work. Just download hyph_nl_NL.dic, nl_NL.aff, and nl_NL.dic and place them in the "additional dictionaries" directory shown at the bottom of the Preferences, Tools dialog. cubesquareredux 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Fixx Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Publisher tends to quit when I try to access finnish dictionaries. I guess those are not rightly formatted. Quote
mmoro Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 My finnish hyphenation dictionary started with words "charset ISO8859-1". I looked those Hunspell-dictionaries and they have only "ISO8859-1" without word "charset". So I removed word "charset" and now Publisher is not crashing. Hyphenation is working, I think, but I have not tested deeply yet... Fixx and walt.farrell 2 Quote
Fixx Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Seems to work righto! Finnish dictionary is available here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=66091 charset-text can be removed with any text editor (I used TextWrangler). Quote

Wow, been years (decades...?) since I used that, BBEdit is the replacement, a slightly limited set of tools for the 'free' version but more features than TextWrangler. Which is if memory serves a damned fine text editor. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks Walt, you have put me on the right track. I placed the Dutch dictionaries from Libre Office in a folder nl-NL within the folder C:/Program Files/Affinity/Publisher Public Beta/Resources/Dictionaries/ . That works! walt.farrell 1 Quote
