Hyphenation in a non-standard language

Buhaj47 · 11-23-2021, 01:01 PM

Is it possible to add hyphens to KEPUB files in Polish with any of these options:

add a Polish hyphenation dictionary to the device root folder
hyphenate ebooks using Hyphenate This!

I hope adding files to the root folder doesn't void warranty.

Please do try this recipe. It's quite old, but I hope still works: http://cyfranek.booklikes.com/post/1...zytnikach-kobo

The download link doesn't seem to work, at least for me. Anyway, I've attached an updated PL hyphenation dictionary I recently downloaded (in UTF-8), not sure if the old one is the same. Is it possible to replace the hyphenation dictionary in the existing archive by swapping the hyph_pl file?

It works for me, I can download "Kobo_pl_podzial.zip". And yes You can change hyphenation file, but I don't know if UTF-8 would work with e-books.

Interesting. I recently found (on my Tolino, which isn’t too different from a Kobo) that a downloaded LibreOffice hyphenation dictionary (ISO8859-1 encoded) didn’t work, while an UTF-8 encode one did.

Considering the default encoding for an epub is UTF-8 (well, UTF-16 is accepted as well but I've never seen a UTF-16 epub in the wild).
