Yes, there are French and German versions of TeX. The hyphenation algorithm is explained in the TeXbook and also in Liang's Ph.D. thesis. Sources of more information: TUGBOAT, the TeX Users Group Newsletter TeXHax@score.stanford.edu, the TeX mailing list (TeXHax-request for addition requests) This is all I know off the bat. Hope this helps. Ken
