Research direction

Start by locating the text pre-processing entry point; the issue does not name files or tests. Review the proposed Hypherator and hunspell/hyphen options, then define what a configurable multilingual hyphenation option should do and how it can be tested.

Description

communitycontribution wontfix

As a suggestion, you could consider adding hyphenation during text pre-processing, using an existing library that supports multi-language dictionaries, such as Hypherator or the widely used hunspell/hyphen via JNA.
