Dear Arthur,
Thanks a lot for your willingness to help. Hebrew is an RTL (Right to Left)
language. Thus the default English hyphenation pattern doesn't work in
Hebrew. First I would like to adjust the lines in such a way that long
words would be split between lines automatically. Second I would like to
write a hyphenation pattern file for Hebrew language to hyphenate well
known hyphenated words.
Kind regards,
Jonathan Zilpa
