After a first feeling of triumph from successfully enabling Swedish hyphenation on my Kobo (by adding a new hyph_sv_SE.dic file onto it) I gradually became more and more distracted by obvious hyphenation errors (for instance förm-ögenhet instead of för-mögenhet or anmärkn-ing instead of anmärk-ning).

At first I blamed the .dic files I had aquired so I spent days making my own, but errors of the same kind were still made.

Now before spending more time trying to fix this I would like to know: is it even possible to get correct hyphenation on Kobo. I looked in an English book that's on my Kobo and it seems to have correct hyphenations (I did find one possible error: untrac-table instead of untract-able, but I am not sure about that one) which indicates that it might indeed be possible.

What's the current consensus on this subject?
