Add more dictionaries to InDesign
Please add hyphenation and spelling dictionaries for more languages.
According to my quick research, many European languages are missing:
Belarusian (millions)
Flemish (millions)
Serbian (millions)
Macedonian (1,400,000)
Basque (660,000)
Luxembourgish (400,000)
Icelandic (350,000)
Kashubian (200,000)
Faroese (66,000)
Sorbian (55,000)
Latin https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/31959424-add-latin-dictionary
...
If you can’t provide support out of the box, you should at least develop an easy and user friendly way to install custom dictionaries:

The leading app should not ignore minor languages and should support them as much as possible. Missing dictionaries affect millions and millions of readers worldwide.
It is not only about hyphenation, it is also about proper use of OpenType “locl” feature supporting locally preferred glyph shapes. InDesign users in Serbia or Macedonia cannot easily use their letter forms!

Yes! getting Faroese hyphenation right can easily take longer than doing the layout.
Would love to see Greenlandic added too :-) -

Yes! When working with Faroese books and such, i spend almost half of the time manually hyphenating everything. That is not acceptable.

An already great tool would make the user's life so much easier if Icelandic would be included. Please include the Icelandic dictionary.
