How well a dictionary handles plurals and conjugated forms depends a lot on how well the original source was adapted to the needs of the kobo software.

The code of the French dictionary:
Code:
<w><p><a name="atrocité"/><variant name="atrocités"/>...</p></w>
The code of the English dictionary:
Code:
<w><p><a name="atrocity">...<variant name="-ties"/>...</p></w>
