- OzTeX has a multi-language extension called Euro-OzTex allowing hyphenation of
- most "non-english" languages. For instance, Euro-OzTeX allows to write in
- Greek, French, German and even Russian. Maybe that sounds useless for you, but
- for me, European people speaking different languages, it is very important.
- I think it is very sad that the basic "TeX" has be developped only thinking of
- english. Really poor design (please no flame) ! Our Unix version of LaTeX
- required some patches in order to allow hyphenation of words containing
- characters encoded on 8 bits. I do not know if TeXture allows hyphenation of
- "non-english" languages.
