435.0. "Foreign languages: hyphenation" by IJSAPL::KLERK (Theo de Klerk) Thu May 28 1987 15:08

  Somewhere I read something on the <LANGUAGE> tag to enable us,
  poor lonesome Europeans  (and Asians, Africans and who ever else
  uses Document but doesn't speak english/american as their native
  tongue) to have headings and such in our own beloved language.

  Trick question: will this include proper hyphenation as well?
  I sure hope so, as ragged right text doesn't look too good (to
  my humble opinion). And you know how lengthy dutch, german and
  finnish words can get...
