Hyphenation and spell checking

Previous topic - Next topic

Hello. I've been using Scribus for a long time and for about a year I've been creating a digital newspaper in four languages.

It's a newspaper published in Türkiye in the languages of four different regions of Russia: Abkhaz, Adyghe (Western and Eastern), Chechen, and Ossetian.

I want to perform spell checking and hyphenation for these four languages, but I can't figure it out. I added the Adyghe (Eastern-Kabardian) and Ossetian .dic and .aff files, which I found as an add-on for Libre Office, to C:\Program Files\Scribus 1.7.3\share\dicts\hyph\hyph_kbd_RU.dic and hyph_os_OS.dic.

Similarly, I added the kbd_RU.aff, kbd_RU.dic, os_OS.aff, and os_OS.dic files to the C:\Program Files\Scribus 1.7.3\share\dicts\spelling folder.

The result is nothing. However, when I select Russian as the language, it performs hyphenation, but it's incorrect.
So, it's based on Russian.

My request to the Scribus developers is: just as Russian, English, and French are automatically added and work flawlessly, wouldn't it be possible to make it work the same way for these four languages?
Or could you guide me on how I can do this?
By the way, I'm using Scribus 1.7.3 on Windows 10.

I can also send PDF copies of the newspaper I prepared to those who can help.
If requested, I can also send the Scribus files.

By the way, I'm experiencing the same problem in Turkish. I prepared my text in Turkish and Google Translate translated it.
I apologize if there is a bad translation :)
Many thanks to everyone who contributed.

Are these 4 language dictionaries available for libreoffice? 


"The result is nothing. However, when I select Russian as the language, it performs hyphenation, but it's incorrect.

And does the hyphenation work correctly in libreoffice?

If libreoffice handles the spelling and hyphenation correctly then half of the issue is solved (spelling) and you would have to manually hyphenate your scribus document. You would need to use the same font in both LO and scribus  and match the page parameters and font size to guide the layout in scribus.

I'm sure there will be exceptions, but should be workable until the hyphenation issues are resolved.

You may have to inquire with Document Foundation devs (or however maintains those dictionaries) to get the them updated to handle the hyphenation correctly. There maybe someone working on this and needs feedback from users to help correct these issues.
