 <p>To get the best hyphenation results, you are advised to configure the hyphenator properly. This can be done via <i>File > Document Setup > Hyphenator</i> for the current document and <i>File > Preferences > Hyphenation and Spelling</i> for new documents.</p><br>

+<p>The dialog consists of two tabs. In the (<i>Behaviour</i>) tab, you can determine the general behavior of the hyphenator:</p>
 <ul>
 <li><b>Hyphenation Suggestions:</b> If you check this option, Scribus will suggest the hyphenation for <i>every word</i> in a text frame. If applied to a long text, this can be time-consuming, and you may want to correct hyphenations on a case-by-case instead.</li>
 <li><b>Hyphenate Text Automatically During Typing:</b> If checked, Scribus will automatically hyphenate text in every text frame that’s being added to your document. This includes imported text.</li>
 </ul>
-<p>In the upper right corner you can see the most important typographical options, namely:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><b>Language:</b> There are huge differences between the hyphenation rules in different languages, so you have to make sure to select the correct one. If you use more than one language in a document, you can set up separate <a href="WwStyles.html">character styles</a> for every language.</li>
-<li><b>Smallest Word</b> determines the length required to trigger a hyphen. The default is 3, which means that a word needs to consist at least of four characters to be hyphenated.</li>
-<li><b>Consecutive Hyphenations Allowed</b> determines in how many consecutive lines hyphenation is permitted. It is recommended to limit the number of lines, because otherwise the right border of a text looks like a “ladder”. The default is 2, which is common in typography.</li>
-</ul>
-<p>In the lower part of the dialog there are two fields that allow you to specify words that you want to be treated differently. The left field is called <i>Exceptions</i>. Here you can add words that aren’t hyphenated correctly by the hyphenator. In the example above, the word “manuscript” has been inserted, including the desired positions for line breaks, which are specified by inserting “-” via the keyboard.</p>

 <p>To the right there is a second field called <i>Ignore List</i>. Any word that has been added to this list won’t be hyphenated.</p>
 <h4>Usage</h4>
 <p>Select a text frame, adjust the text alignment to your liking and then select <i>Extras > Hyphenate Text</i> from the menu. Note that this will only hyphenate text in a selected frame.</p>
