InDesign uses Proximity (and WinSoft for some languages) dictionaries for both spelling and hyphenation. These dictionaries let you specify a different language for as little as a single character of text. Each dictionary contains hundreds of thousands of words with standard syllable breaks. Changing the default language does not affect existing text frames or documents. You can customize language dictionaries to ensure that any unique vocabulary you use is recognized and treated correctly. A B C How dictionaries affect hyphenation A. "Glockenspiel" in English B.
