Hello Mojca and Arthur, I am forwarding below a message I just received from a Serbian user of polyglossia.
In TeX Live 2010, language.dat (still) contains the lines: > % from hyphen-serbian: > serbian loadhyph-sr-latn.tex Nikola however tells me that changing the last line to > serbian loadhyph-sr-latn.tex loadhyph-sr-cyrl.tex works well and should be simultaneously activated by default. Best, François -------- Original Message -------- Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2010 00:14:20 +0200 From: Nikola Lečić <[email protected]> To: François Charette <[email protected]> Subject: Polyglossia + Serbian Cyrillic hyphenation [...] With Serbian as default polyglossia language, no word will be hyphenated because only Latin hyphenation patterns are loaded by default: texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.dat: % from hyphen-serbian: serbian loadhyph-sr-latn.tex I used to change this line to serbian loadhyph-sr-latn.tex loadhyph-sr-cyrl.tex regenerate xelatex.fmt -- and it works. This is also nice because books that I prepare usually contain both Cyrillic and Latin Serbian text at the same time, so both get hyphenated correctly -- hyphenation patterns simply do not interfere with each other. Of course, it would be nice to correct this in polyglossia and anywhere else where needed. I don't feel knowledgeable enough to tell what and where should be done, but I'd gladly assist as a native speaker and user. Thank you, -- Nikola Lečić = Никола Лечић fingerprint : FEF3 66AF C90E EDC3 D878 7CDC 956D F4AB A377 1C9B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
