I know that this is not really helpful in this case, but just to underline how much we are in the hands of the hardware vendors: The only ereaders I have found to do this properly are PocketBooks. There you can supply stemming rules alongside with custom dictionaries, even if the language in question is not supported by default.
This is the major reason why I ended up mostly reading on PocketBooks nowadays, giving up my Kobos and Sonys, as I read a lot in languages not officially supported by them.
