Adding Welsh language to InDesign
Has anyone successfully added a language to Adobe InDesign? If so, how did you do it? I don't need this for spell checking, but I need to be able to set the document language or paragraph styles to Welsh.
We are getting a lot of English / Welsh dual language PDFs to fix, and while we can easily set the languages in Acrobat, I would like to teach our clients to set the appropriate languages in the paragraph styles in InDesign.
This is easy to do with the built-in languages, but Welsh is not one of them. I have found an Adobe article that says you have to obtain a dictionary in the required language in a .udc file format. However, I cannot find any such dictionaries.
I have found a Welsh dictionary that has files with .aff and .dic file formats, but InDesign does not recognise them.
I found an article titled "Add and remove Hunspell dictionaries". This describes how you are supposed to be able to add new languages. However, this page says to place the files in locations that don't exist on my machine, and all my experiments have failed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
