Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ Babel hyphenation for Portuguese

[templateuser]

Hi! Great design, congratulations!

If possible, could you give a hint on how to get Babel hyphenating working? I put
\usepackage[portuguese]{babel}
right after the
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
and, despite the package is load in the console and no errors are thrown, hyphenation in the letter cover text isn’t shown, making the text look kinda ugly.

Thanks in advance!

Especially for proper hyphenation of words with accented letters, you should use T1 font encoding:

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
