Hyphenation supprt for languages other than English

Post by mross »

Can the DITA transforms be configured for hyphenation support for Spanish and Portuguese so that text strings wrap within table column widths?

Hi Mona,

Are you using the classic DITA to PDF output with Apache FOP used to produce the PDF?
Have you already succeeded in making hyphenation work for English?
There are steps here about how to install a custom hyphenation file and a link to a repository of such files:
