Hyphenation for English words in Asian language.


Recommended Posts

Please make hyphenation for English words in Asian language possible.
If I enable hyphenation on Asian text, text style will be totally broken.

Adobe's can hyphenate only English words in an Asian language.(Refer attached image)

I think this is already supported.

Define the Paragraph Text Styles that you use for the Asian language as having a hyphenation language of None.

Then define the Character Text Style that you use for English as having a hyphenation language of English.

This kind of setup works for spell checking, and I think it will work for hyphenation, though I don't have time to check right now. Sorry.

Does this mean I have to set a style to each English word/sentence?

Adobe's does this automatically without setting manually.

Yes, you should apply a style for each different language you're using. 

I don't see how an application could figure out the language for spell checking or hyphenation automatically, in general, without such a hint from the user.

How about special hyphenation rule that ignores non-alphabet characters for Asian languages?
(But specify certain language to alphabet characters such as English - to entire content)
I suppose Adobe is doing so.

Basically alphabets are for foreign words in Japanese or Chinese.
It's easy to judge what to target.

The text in the original post was set to English(Refer attached image)
There is no selection for Chinese/Japanese in the language list, but I enabled "East Asian feature" in the Type setting.
That's how I created the text on Adobe.

I don't work with Asian languages, but I would expect that you'd use a different font for the English vs the Asian text. If so, your most efficient workflow for doing that would probably be to apply the font based on the paragraph or character style you've chosen. And at that point, in addition to selecting the font your style could set the language appropriately, or enable the East Asian feature.

Beyond that (or even at this point) I'm beyond my level of experience. Sorry.

No, the same font are used for both Asian language and English in most of case.
