Hyphenation

[Marc van der Holst]

Hi,

Sorry, I've been browsing the forums for a while now, but I can't figure out how to set the hyphenation to Dutch.

I _think_ I need to add these files (screenshot attached), but if that is the case, where?

Many thanks in advance!

Can you elaborate your quesion please.

Your example does not contain Dutch hyphenation, only file names with underscore.

Dus even iets meer uitleg graag

You only need ‘nl_NL.aff’ and ‘nl_NL.dic’:

(Edit: oops, I'll first try Alfred's suggestion)

Ah, yes, I think I was advised to download those and then move them to Affinity's resources > dictionairies, but I can't find those maps …

I'll put it simpler: is there a way to add Dutch to the character > language > hyphenation scroll down menu?

Hmyes, so how do I install ‘nl_NL.aff’ and ‘nl_NL.dic’? (working on a mac, btw, sorry, forgot.)

Thx again in advance.

According to the linked post, you just need to copy those two files to the ~/Library/Spelling folder. (I’m not a Mac user, so I can’t provide any additional details.)

Those two files are the spelling dictionary. For hyphenation you also need a third file, hyph_nl_NL.dic.

You can find them all at the LibreOffice Dictionary project on GitHub: https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries/tree/libreoffice-6-2-6/nl_NL
