I have long table with many cells almost inside every cell long text. The problem is that non-English text does not wrap correctly.

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{article} \usepackage[T2A,T2B,T2C]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[russian]{babel} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{ | m{1cm} | m{2.5cm} | m{2.5cm} | m{2.5cm} | m{2.5cm} | m{2.5cm} | m{2.5cm} | m{2.5cm} | m{2.5cm} | } %перенос слов в клетке частично работает только в первой строке \hline %\rowcolor{wordBlue} \hline \textbf{Text 1} & \textbf{Some Symbols} & \textbf{Long lines of code} & \textbf{Очень длинные строки, которые почему-то не переносяться корректно} & \textbf{Год} & \textbf{Разнообразные вариации чисел и букв 1234, новый номер 892473124} & \textbf{Text with some new default values.} & \textbf{Базовый текст, в котором могут быть смешаны letters and numbers in different languages + 2} & \textbf{Last column with which I have plenty of troubles and I need to fix} \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document}

I have found trick that if I do 

& ~\textbf{Last column with which I have plenty of troubles and I need to fix}

it works, but I have indentation that I don't need.

    ~ will cause the indentation, in my point of view Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 14:51
  • Yes, but the problem I do not need to have indentation. I need just wrap words correctly. No matter how long they are. Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 14:54
  • Is hyphenation supposed to be allowed, or should it be suppressed? Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 15:12
  • We can use it, but it didn't work for some reasons. Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 15:28

Hyphenation of the first word requires a space, even if it is zero.

Here's a way for getting what you want with less input.

I put T2A as the last encoding, since it's the one of choice for Russian. Do you really need T2B and T2C?

\documentclass[a4paper,landscape]{article} \usepackage[margin=1cm]{geometry} % to get landscape orientation \usepackage[T2B,T2C,T2A]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[english,russian]{babel} \usepackage{array} \newcolumntype{M}[1]{% >{\raggedright\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}} m{#1} } \begin{document} \noindent \begin{tabular}{ | m{1cm} | *{7}{M{2.5cm} |} >{\hyphenrules{english}}M{2.5cm} | } \hline %\rowcolor{wordBlue} \hline \bfseries Text 1 & \bfseries Some Symbols & \bfseries Long lines of code & \bfseries Очень длинные строки, которые почему-то не переносяться корректно & \bfseries Год & \bfseries Разнообразные вариации чисел и букв 1234, новый номер 892473124 & \bfseries Text with some new default values. & \bfseries Базовый текст, в котором могут быть смешаны \foreignlanguage{english}{letters and numbers in different languages} + 2 & \bfseries Last column with which I have plenty of troubles and I need to fix \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}

Add >{\hyphenrules{english}} for the columns where only English is used.

Some comments:

  • Your nine-column table is simply too wide to fit in portrait mode on a normal page, even if the margins are very narrow. Consider typesetting the tabular material in landscape mode, e.g., by loading the rotating package and placing the tabular material inside a sidewaystable environment.

  • Even if the tabular material is set in landscape mode, it will be too wide if you set the widths of columns 2 thru 9 to 2.5cm. I suggest you use a tabularx environment instead of a tabular environment and let LaTeX work out the column width that's needed to make the table fit.

  • If you want to permit hyphenation of the words, load the ragged2e package and modify the column type with a >{\RaggedRight} directive. Since the columns will all be quite narrow, it's better to set them in ragged-right mode instead of in "justified" mode.

  • Not addressed in the code below, but something to think about: Do you really gain something by bold-facing every single header cell?
