[xep-support] Re: Japanese and/or Chinese Hypenation Pattern?

Hello Anthony,

Yes, you may specify a <language> element without a <hyphenation/> child.
My own config file seems to work fine with a number of such language
definitions.
For completeness, the relevant section of the XEP manual is
http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#linguistic_algorithms though it
doesn't seem to indicate that you don't need to include the hyphenation
tag.

Also, from my own knowledge of Japanese, individual words aren't defined
by spaces, but rather the dictionary, so breaking them up with a linebreak
is always permitted and you should not include hyphens. People would
probably confuse a hyphen as the dash character that elongates the vowel
sound most glyphs end in, changing the word's tone and probably its
meaning. I assume the same holds for Chineese, but you might want to
check.

In the xep.xml file, *must* a <language> element have a <hyphenation>
child element?

Anybody know of a reliable open source tex hyphenation pattern file for
Japanese or Chinese?
 
If not, can I just specify the language without the hyphenation? As In:
 
<language name=”Japanese” codes=”ja jpn”/>
 
 
thanks,
Anthony Torrero Collins
