Hi!
I had put up this question to pradeeban once. What he said was a yes.
Hyphenation is very much locale dependent. As an example, British
English focusses on breaking words depending upon the meaning (like
"pro-gress") while American English tends to go with the syllables
(like "prog-ress": since 'prog' rhymes with 'frog').
I guess the solution to this is to use library files specific to each
language. I've been looking around for them.
Will get back as soon as I get something!
