Hi Ken,
The french hyph dic seems to run alright on koreader (and i mean very alright - far better than the nickel one) when there is no shy hyphen. But to resolve a lot of issues with hyphen on nickel I had the habit to put shy hyphens on nearly all my books and disable the algorithm (using the hyphenate this plugin with calibre). It’s not really a problem to remove them (just a matter of time). And it really seems to be the source of the problem. No reader seems to ignore them (the shy char) at this time. With soft hyphen the dictionary searches are broken on nickel - and on korearder, it’s the space between words (but i don’t really need a french dictionary anyway). I’m removing them right now to make a good comparaison.
