Reply To: turn hyphenation on by script

You can try this, but note, it will cause overrides and if you have storys with linked frames over multiple layers, it will turn the hyphenation off on other layers too.

var s = app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName("layer name").textFrames.everyItem().parentStory;

for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
  s[i].hyphenation = false;
}

So I would vote for a new style with correct language and maybe hyphenation turned on?!
