 sgml-tools (v1) の bug report #16304 (27 Dec 1997) に groff の
 hyphenation に関連する話題が出てます。

Package: sgml-tools
Version: 0.99.7-3.1

This bug is due to use of groff with US hyphenation table for /every/
language.  Since TeX hyphenation tables may be used with groff, it is
possible to correctly hyphenate all languages supported by TeX itself.

I think it should suffice to include something like this in sgmlsasp
output (wich is groff input):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
.do hla it
.do hpf hyphen.it
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(This is an example for the Italian language; hyphen.it could be the a
symbolic link to /usr/lib/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/ithyph.TeX (provided by
teTeX); hyphen.it should be located in some standard place (like
/usr/share/groff/tmac/) or have an absolute path in front of itself.)

A temporary patch may be disabling hyphenation for languages other than
English.

At the time I filed this bug I just read groff manpage to find a work
around to the hyphenation problem.  It's my understanding that what I
said in the report will suffice, but I don't know if there are other
solutions, nor do I know other useful documentation.

Coordinating with the upstream groff maintainer(s) may be a good idea:
the hyphenation tables should be probably provided directly by groff
itself.

Luck,

Sorry, it was not exactly groff man page: look in the groff package
doc directory, file meref.me.gz.

A quick grep revealed that `.nh' should do the trick.


 groff の入力に .nh を付けておけば hyphenation を禁止できるみたいですね。

 groff 自体が hyphenation table を持つべきでは、という意見もあるみたい。
