Language Regions ---------------- Regions of a document such as a characater, a word or complete paragraphs can be associated with a specific language. This is done automatically when the user switches the input keyboard, it can be set programmatically or using a new dialog box. ![Language dialog](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2013/11/12/a/assets/language_dialog.webp "Language dialog")In combination with TX Spell .NET 4.0, the selected language is automatically used as the proofing language. Also, this language is used for the new hyphenation feature of TX Text Control and TX Spell .NET 4.0 to hyphenate words in the desired language. The TX Text Control *StatusBar* has been updated to display the language at the current input position. ![Language Regions - status bar](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2013/11/12/a/assets/status.webp "Language Regions - status bar")Multilingual Hyphenation ------------------------ TX Spell .NET provides different methods to hyphenate words in multilingual documents. TX Spell .NET returns the hyphenation point before a specific divide position or an array of all hyphenation points for a defined word. When connected to TX Text Control, the hyphenation works automatically based on the new language regions in TX Text Control. ![Multilingual Hyphenation](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2013/11/12/a/assets/tx_new_x10_hyphenation2.webp "Multilingual Hyphenation")The ready-to-use dialog box can be used to specify the hyphenation options: ![Language dialog](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2013/11/12/a/assets/hyphenation_dialog.webp "Language dialog")It is possible to define the number of characters before a hyphenation point and how many syllables should remain before and after a hyphenation point of compound words. Full Right-to-Left Support: Hebrew and Arabic --------------------------------------------- ![Arabic support](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2013/11/12/a/assets/arabic.webp "Arabic support")With version X10, TX Text Control now supports Right-to-Left text rendering for languages such as Arabic or Hebrew. Each line in a document can be bi-directional - it can contain text parts written from left to right and text parts written from right to left. The paragraph formatting dialog box and the API has been extended to cover this new paragraph setting. ![Language dialog](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2013/11/12/a/assets/right_to_left_dialog.webp "Language dialog")Stay tuned for more about TX Text Control X10 and TX Spell .NET 4.0. --- ## About Bjoern Meyer As CEO, Bjoern is the visionary behind our strategic direction and business development, bridging the gap between our customers and engineering teams.
