Thai Hyphenation
Hi,
Anyone knows how can I make the Thai hyphenation?
Where can I get the Thai hyphenation xml or related
file?
I use en_US with some 3 bytes Thai word wrongly
hyphenated. Any comment?
Thank in advance
Sherlane

As Joerg has already mentioned, they don't exist (in FOP anyway), and we
don't really know enough to build them. However, we are in the process of
beefing up the hyphenation documentation to include information about how to
create/modify the patterns files. If you are interested in sorting through
the linguistic issues, we'll do our best to support you on the technical
side. If you can find an electronic Thai dictionary that includes
hyphenation, that should be a big help. Do you have any interest in helping
with this?

Many thanks!
It is very hard to find any distribution of
hyphenation pattern for Thai.
I can do hyphenation for Chinese, Japanese and some
other Asian languages correctly with FOP even I have
not used a specific hyphenation pattern. However,
only Thai, I cannot do it correctly. Therefore, I
want to find some hyphenation pattern in FOP site.
However, I cannot find (or I don't understand) any
information in both FOP and CTAN sites.
Any suggestion/direction for me?
Thanks thanks and thanks!!!

I don't know much about Thai except that typesetting thai
script is a major PITA. From all what I read hyphenation or
even proper line breaking requires thorough morphological
analysis, something which is unlikely to be achievable
with the knowledge available on this list.
I heard a TeX distribution localized for Thai mentioned
somewhere, but it doesn't seem to be available on CTAN.
If you can track this down it may be a sourec for proper
hyphenation patterns, but I believe there will be additional
modifications necessary, like for chinese.

I can't parse the sentence. If you mean you get wrong
hyphenations with an en_US language setting but actual
text in Thai, well, this is hardly a surprise.
