Abstract
Disclosed is an improved system for verifying the spelling and providing hyphenation points for text words from a plurality of interspersed languages. The control system includes control codes which are inserted in the text to define the language of the text following the control code. The system accepts the control codes and responds by comparing the text following the control code against a storage dictionary of correctly spelled words and hyphenation points for the language associated with the control code. The system provides as an output an indicator of whether the word is correctly spelled or where the proper hyphenation points for the word appears. The systemn further includes control codes which when detected will cause blocks of data which should not be compared to the storage dictionary to be skipped.
