Hyphenation in Spanish

I have been working on a brochure in spanish and am running in to hyphenation issues where the lines are breaking 'improperly' for formal spanish. Is there a spanish language hyphenation plug in for Indesign CS3 that will adjust to a certain language?
Any direction would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks!

It is still common practice in Puerto Rico to not hyphenate at all, this is a holdover from the days of Quark's dominance, when the Passport edition was ridiculously overpriced and dongled to boot.
My Argentinian translator claims that there are still quite a few elderly academic folk who claim that capital letters do not require accents; she says that this is due to what those glyphs looked like in terminal fonts (squashed to fit the same height as an unaccented cap) that those academics used twenty years ago. So, I'm entirely unsurprised to hear that Quark's ludicrous prices for Passport still have consequences for typesetting conventions, many years later. Similar claims (not against Quark, of course) could be made about the movement of Chinese punctuation to the baseline, or having an ordinary word space before punctuation in French. It makes me wish I was enrolled in some sort of frivolous "Science, Technology and Society" program; I smell the beginnings of a good paper here.

[SOLVED] urxvt/console spanish characters

i didn't bother with this "issue" i have, because rarely i type something in spanish (my native language) in urxvt, but lately i had to use msn a lot, (yeah i hate it too, but here people use that... and facebook) so, i have to use a lot the "n" and "a,e,i,o,u" characters, the thing is, i have no problem in X apps typing those characters as you can see, but in console and urxvt i can see the "a,e,i,o,u" characters, but i cannot type them, for example, if a text file has them, i can see them in vim, but im not able to type them, but the "n" character i cannot see neither in console nor urxvt, cant see it and cannot type it, only a "?" when it is displayed...

How do you change the language hyphenation engine in Photoshop without changing the User Interface (UI)?

I'm working on some documents in Spanish. I'm having issues because the hyphenation function is in English. I want the program to follow the proper Spanish hyphenation rules without changing my English UI.

Window/Character and choose Spanish.

Hi, some of the keys on my mac book air aren't working e.g. Hyphen, colon but others such as question mark, full stop are fine. Does anyone know how to fix. My toddler pressed some keys on keyboard and this is the result!

Hi, my toddler pressed some keys on my keyboard and now some of my symbol keys such as comma, hyphen etc do not work. Others such as . and ? Are fine. Does anyone know how to fix? Thanks

You may have this sorted out by now - but if not try resetting your Language to English. I had the issue and found the emoji keyboard was set to spanish.

Hyphenation issues when copying from word document

OS X Mavericks / Indesign CC2014
I'm having an issue copying & pasting text from Microsoft Word into an Indesign document. Mainly happens with copy in foreign language (in my case Spanish & Polish). If I copy a block of text with a hyphen in it, the hyphen comes over as a character (like a manually inserted hyphen) and stays with the copy, even in the middle of a paragraph. If I select all of the copy in Word, then turn off hyphenation, I don't have the issue as all of the automatic hyphenation is removed. But sometimes I forget...
Any thoughts on why this occurs - don't really notice it happening with English copy.

What happens when you place the same block of text instead of copying & pasting? Sometimes I have to do some pretty extensive file massage (conversion to other formats, opening those other formats in OpenOffice, etc.) to get multilingual stuff to work at all.
Word's handling of hyphenation is odd, and I don't trust the clipboard. If you're using Word files supplied by third parties (which seems likely) you could have files from a variety of platforms and versions in play. Maybe somebody inserted Optional Hyphens in these languages?
There's a preference for "Clipboard Handling" that will let you choose whether you're pasting raw text or rich text

It sounds as if AT&T has already told you they can't do what you want. It doensn't sould like anything that's fixable on your end.

Hi,

Text breaks / hyphenations – no break?

Hey, I am curious if there is a way that InDesign can format text boxes so there are no hyphenated words at all. I understand that i can manually select words and format "no break" in the text formatting options, but is there a way to do this for every word in the text box? I'm asking because I have a very large document and any changes to the size of text boxes, for instance, neccessitates me to go to every word that's breaking with a hyphen and choose "no break." It seems like there has got to be a less tedious way to do this…
Thanks so much,
Quin

Hey Peter (and Willi)
I've tried to figure out how to do this but somehow I can't get the style to work. I've tried playing around with a paragraph style I've created called "variety/species listing" to set the first line as Garamond, Bold 16 and the second line as Garamond, Italic, 16 – and I'm enclosing images to illustrate how no matter how I set the styles, it continues to display the text as Garamond, Bold, 16.
I've also tried breaking links to the style and then reapplying it. Images enclosed (how the "variety/species listing" style is being applied is illustrated in the first two lines of the final image).
Any advice?

Where is the hyphen (-) on the apple TV? I am trying to set up my network and there is a hyphen in the password for the network

Where is the hyphen on the apple TV? I am trying to set up my network and there is a hyphen in the password for the network

A few options to try:
They hyphen should be next to the + on the character map.
If you are still having issues, provided your ATV software is up to date, you can now connect an Apple Wireless Keyboard through bluetooth connections.
Change your network password so it does not use a hyphen
Good luck!

If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
If you forget the password and FileVault is on

The language of the web page changes from English to Spanish? Or the right-click context menu is in Spanish??
