Hi!

I noticed that setting "English (UK)" as language under Document Settings, leads to some strange hyphenation. For example, "import-ant" and "theor-ethical". Is that a common issue with that language dictionary or do I have a faulty setup?

The latter, assuming you mean "theor-etical", looks acceptable to me, if not ideal. The former is apparently wrong, according to what I looked up online, though it actually sounds right to me. Or, perhaps better, morphologically, it feels right.

I find I do sometimes have to override LaTeX's own choices in final preparation of documents.

I see, I wasn't aware that hyphenation is a style choice in English. (In German there are fixed rules.)

No, there is no difference in handling the hyphenation rules.



How do I override LaTeX's choices? I tried

\hyphenation{im-por-tant the-o-re-ti-cal}

But that seemed not to have helped.


It looks like you are using polyglossia.

For document->settings->languageĀ  choose babel and then write into
the preamble

\AtBeginDocument{\hyphenation{im-por-tant the-o-re-ti-cal}}
