Is it possible to add more hyphenation dictionaries to InD? I like to test type in foreign languages but Adobe does not supply all of the. They have Library files such as “rus.hyp” which I assume do the trick. Are there others available and if so where? Is it possible to just drop a new “.hyp” file in the library and have that language supported and show up in the InD “Language” pop-up?

German (Reformed, Swiss, and Traditional), Greek*, Hungarian*, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmal and
Nynorsk), Polish*, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian*, Slovak*, Spanish: Castilian, Swedish, and
Turkish*. (Languages marked with an asterisk have been newly added to InDesign CS2.)”

4.0.2 update adds support for seven Central European languages.

It is possible to use older Proximity dictionaries with InDesign CS by placing them from “Adobe\Linguistics\Providers\Proximity" to “Indesign CS\Plug-Ins\Dictionaries\Proximity" directory as Paul described here:
