</span>TeX has hyphenation patterns for various languages at <a href="http://tug.org/tex-hyphen/#languages" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://tug.org/tex-hyphen/#languages</a><br>
Some other application like Firefox use hyphenation algorithms based on TeX. <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/master/intl/hyphenation/README.hyphen" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/master/intl/hyphenation/README.hyphen</a><br>
The Scribus 1.5 source has a file scribus/third_party/hyphen/README with the comment below. Scribus might be able to import the Welsh hyphenation rules from TeX.<br>
   * Warning! Correct working of Libhnj *needs* prepared hyphenation patterns. *<br>
   For example, generating hyph_en_US.dic from "<a href="http://hyphen.us" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">hyphen.us</a>" TeX patterns: perl <a href="http://substrings.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">substrings.pl</a> <a href="http://hyphen.us" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">hyphen.us</a> hyph_en_US.dic ISO8859-1<br>
Scribus might also be able to use hunspell files at <a href="http://troi.org/en/hunspell-cy.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://troi.org/en/hunspell-cy.html</a> or <a href="http://www.cm.ph.bham.ac.uk/software/zenwalk/old/cat/main/packages/hunspell-cy_GB.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.cm.ph.bham.ac.uk/software/zenwalk/old/cat/main/packages/hunspell-cy_GB.html</a><br>
