For selecting the correct language for the hyphenation(/spelling) we need to specify the document language in the document preferences. Also we should have a default document language in the Inkscape preferences.

points to the text, Inkscape didn't treat them correctly: it just broke words at those points but didn't insert visible hyphens as it should (in English text). I know that some languages need to insert hyphens and some don't. What is the proper way to fix this? Should Inkscape determine this based on xml:lang?
I also cc: our text expert, Richard Hughes. Richard, what would it take to implement adding visible hyphens on breaks in flowed text?
It's one of those things that is supposed to work, but since we've never had a normal UI that inserts them (Ctrl-U doesn't count) they've never been subjected to any real testing. I'll take a look.
I wasn't aware that some languages don't use visible hyphens. I could hope that Pango reports that the soft hyphen is a zero-width invisible character for those languages, but unfortunately hoping for something does not necessarily make it true.
