Hi Laci, what are your plans for writing those tools? I'm only asking because I wonder if it makes sense to make patgen work here or if those tools would replace patgen. patgen asks for values hyph_start, hyph_finish and several others which I don't know "correct" values for and I didn't find examples for German. Here's my understanding of what needs to be done to improve German hyphenation. Please correct me if this is wrong: 1. Build a list of compound words that have hyphenation points only between their compound parts. 2. Build a list of non-compounds with hyphenation points (as it currently needs to be done to generate the patterns) 3. Build the patterns for both of the lists and prepare them with substrings.pl. 4. Put the compound patterns, then a line with the string "NEXTLEVEL", then the non-compounds patterns all in one file. Is this correct? How big is the risk that the new compound patterns break some of the old non-compound hyphenations that already work correctly?
