I am currently testing with a Japanese translation of something I originally created in English using the ConTeXt engine (LMTX).

I run into the fact that Japanese has no use for whitespace, so most of the time TeX has no idea where to break. Is there something I can tell ConTeXt to solve this for me or do I have to alk with the translator to put whitespace in the correct places (kind of breaks the automatic linebreaking of TeX, though)?
