Hi Kate,
as Thai does not have spaces between words, you will absolutely need a
native speaker to break lines manually and to split up the text in the
correct way. Given this, is seems obvious that it is not advisable to
use the "justified" setting.
Until now, there was no feature in FrameMaker -- built-in or accessible
to users -- to deal with this automatically (I would be surprised if
Indesign could do it...).
I do not think this has changed in FM 2015. Have you worked with Thai
before?
Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin
