New hyphenation patterns
Hi,
Is there a way to make new hyphenation patterns for Pocketbook and KoReader (.pattern files)? I have some files of spelling and hyphenation dictionaries for ancient and polytonic Greek that comes actually from OpenOffice and I use them also in InDesign. Could they be converted some how for Pocketbook or/and KoReader? Thanks in advance. |

No idea about Pocketbook.
For KOReader you can add them yourself to /mnt/ext1/applications/koreader/data/hyph and edit the file /mnt/ext1/applications/koreader/frontend/apps/reader/modules/readertypography.lua to include the new definitions. If you go that route you'll need to update readertypography again after each update, so please consider submitting the patterns upstream: hopefully they can be integrated in both KOReader and Coolreader See a recent example which added two latin hyphen patterns: https://github.com/koreader/crengine/pull/393 |

For PB firmware 5.xx you can add new hyphenation files or manipulate existing ones, just look around for files like hyph_XX.dic files in some probably hidden folder. Works for ePubs. Don't have 6.x firmware.
Those hyph dictionaries are OpenOffice files, by the way. |

The truth is that I don't know much about programming, scripts etc.
So, my question is if and how can I convert the language files I have (e.g. grc_GR.aff, grc_GR.dic, hyph_grc_GR.dic for Ancient Greek) into a .pattern file. I can't find it out in the above links. Τhank you and please forgive my ignorance. |

You can convert .tex hyphenation files to KOReader/Coolreader pattern files with https://gist.github.com/strn/f5c6d9c...d09f21ecad1ffa IIRC these kind of files (the output of the script) were originally from FBReader, so they should be also compatible with a lot of ebook readers that steal their code. A source for tex dicts is http://tug.org/tex-hyphen/#languages. There might be others, IDK. |
