Better Hyphenation

OK, I'll produce a beta for you to test.

Here is the file with the hyphenation dictionaries. I hope it works. Thanks a lot.

What exactly is a German arabic dictionary? I've never heard of such.

It would seem to be the equivalent to any two language dictionary? English-French, German-Spanish, French-Italian for example.

Thanks. That helps.

This is the wrong thread for a German Aribic dictionary as this thread is just for hyphenation dictionaries and not for regular dictionaries or ones that go from one language to another. You will have to look elsewhere for what you want.

This is what's in the hyphenation dictionary.

COMPOUNDLEFTHYPHENMIN 2
COMPOUNDRIGHTHYPHENMIN 3

I have just downloaded the Spanish dictionary and the COMPOUNDLEFTHYPHENMIN and COMPOUNDRIGHTHYPHENMIN lines are missing. It is normal?

What these settings do?

They set the minimum and maximum letters for a hyphenation break.

Others who have used/tested the Spanish hyphenation dictionary reported no problem.

I thought that break was determined by LEFTHYPHENMIN and RIGHTHYPHENMIN settings.

To clarify what I mean, the English dictionary has the four settings:

LEFTHYPHENMIN 2
RIGHTHYPHENMIN 3
COMPOUNDLEFTHYPHENMIN 2
COMPOUNDRIGHTHYPHENMIN 3

The Spanish dictionary just has the first two:

LEFTHYPHENMIN 2
RIGHTHYPHENMIN 3

What is the difference?

[DNSB]

The COMPOUNDLEFTHYPHENMIN and COMPOUNDRIGHTHYPHENMIN settings are used for compound words. Examples would be merry-go-rounds or mothers-in-law. As near as I can tell, the - is treated as a space unless the break happens at the location of a -. This setting has no effect on closed compound words such as firefighter or grandparent.

[PunkyKoopa]

I see.

So no need for these settings in Spanish.

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to get some help, please. I'm reading KePUBs on my Libra 2. I've installed JSWolf's dictionary from the first page, and in Calibre, I have KTE set to:

Hyphenate files: On
Min word length: 6 characters
Min characters before hyphen: 2 characters
Min characters after hyphen: 3 characters
Max consecutive: 2 lines

I sent my book to the device, and here's an example screen:


I'm a bit confused. Why is "th-ing" being hyphenated? It's only 5 characters. Any thoughts? Also, do the settings in KTE override the LEFTHYPHENMIN and RIGHTHYPHENMIN in the hyphenation dictionary?

Thx!
