Hi, Currently, we have \lccode`\'=`\' set for all languages, but it seems that some languages get problems with hyphenation. \de \hyphenatedword{Works''} \nl \hyphenatedword{Works''} \uk \hyphenatedword{Works''} \en \hyphenatedword{Works''} \de \hyphenatedword{Works} \nl \hyphenatedword{Works} \uk \hyphenatedword{Works} \en \hyphenatedword{Works} i did set the code because some languages needed it, but now i get puzzled: we can do: \startlanguagespecifics[nl,cz,sk,fr] \lccode`\'=`\' \stoplanguagespecifics but i wonder of this is the right approach.
