| Summary | 0017685: Hyphenation not working with Swedish dictionary in Scribus 1.6.4 on Windows 11 | ||||
| Description | This is a demonstration of hyphenation in justified layout. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Create a new document 2. Set language to Swedish 3. Use justified text with hyphenation enabled 4. Observe no hyphenation occurs | ||||
| Additional Information | hyph_sv.dic is present in dicts/hyph but not recognized Title: Swedish hyphenation not working in Scribus 1.6.4 on Windows 11 Description: I’m using Scribus 1.6.4 on Windows 11. I have the file hyph_sv.dic in C:\Program Files\Scribus 1.6.4\share\dicts\hyph, and my document language is set to Swedish. I’ve enabled hyphenation in styles and used justified text, but no hyphenation occurs. The hyphenator settings only show “Exceptions” and “Ignore List” – no way to activate or manage dictionaries. English hyphenation works, but Swedish does not. | ||||

>> my document language is set to Swedish Cannot reproduce here. My guess is that you do not have updated the default character style language to use Swedish. Also hyphenation will usually not happen magically by default, you have to use Extras > Hyphenate Text. |

Thank you for your help jghali! You were absolutely right — I hadn’t updated the default character style language. Once I set it to Swedish and ran Extras > Hyphenate Text, hyphenation worked as expected. I had assumed that setting the document and paragraph style language would be enough, but now I understand that the character style also needs to be configured. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction! |
