With Aspose.Words for .NET, you can make your documents look professional by hyphenating words correctly according to the language rules. Let’s dive into how you can achieve this seamlessly.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following:

  • Aspose.Words for .NET installed. If you haven’t, grab it here.
  • A valid license for Aspose.Words. You can buy one here or get a temporary license here.
  • Basic knowledge of C# and .NET framework.
  • A text editor or an IDE like Visual Studio.

Import Namespaces

First things first, let’s import the necessary namespaces. This helps in accessing the classes and methods required for hyphenation.

using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Hyphenation;

Step 1: Load Your Document

You’ll need to specify the directory where your document is located. Replace "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY" with the actual path to your document.

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "German text.docx");

Step 3: Register Hyphenation Dictionaries

Aspose.Words requires hyphenation dictionaries for different languages. Ensure you have the .dic files for the languages you want to hyphenate. Register these dictionaries using the Hyphenation.RegisterDictionary method.

Hyphenation.RegisterDictionary("en-US", dataDir + "hyph_en_US.dic");
Hyphenation.RegisterDictionary("de-CH", dataDir + "hyph_de_CH.dic");

Step 4: Save the Document

Finally, save the hyphenated document in the desired format. Here, we’re saving it as a PDF.

doc.Save(dataDir + "TreatmentByCesure.pdf");
