Techically you're right it is probably not a bug.
Kobo doesn't have to explicitly state what features are (officially) supported if it is (unofficially) supported natively by the underlying renderer. And as Kobo doesn't communicate, not even in a very general way, about firmware developments Kobos official statements are almost irrelevant (unfortunate, I if you ask me.)
Kobo rapidly expands its businesses to other language territories. The
consequences are that local languages should be supported by adding a local definition dictionary and translation dictionaries from and to English, at least.
If Kobo won't, because it may not be cost effective (I do understand this can be the case)
Kobo should add the flexibility to add open source solutions by the user. Creating flexibility by building a look up routine to detect sideloaded open source definition, translation and hyphenation dictionaries hardly costs Kobo anything (It saves money actually, no licence fees) but would give them an edge to penetrate a local language territory.
