Created attachment 93582 [details] Simple test case; resize window to see different hyphenation points If I'm using the CSS3-propery hyphens:auto; I get rather confusing results: On Safari on iOS all texts are hyphenated using the rules for the system language; regardless of the language of the hyphenated text. On Webkit (Nightly 6533.21.1, r86499) hyphenation is only performed when the system language of OS X is set to 'English'. I'd expect a) Safari on iOS not to hyphenate text in an other language (i.e. when there's a lang-attribute with an other language). b) Either Webkit on Mac OS X having other hyphenation patterns than just English or support for 'hyphenate-resource' to be able to load patterns.

You are right that TOT WebKit does not consider the 'lang' attribute when applying hyphenation, and does not support external hyphenation resources. In WebKit nightly builds, you can specify the '-webkit-locale' CSS property to control hyphenation.

In OS X Lion, auto-hyphenation is supported for English (US and GB), German, French, Italian, Dutch and Russian.
