We publish ebooks in Scottish Gaelic and for the most part that works fine but there's an issue we just can't seem to get a grip on, which is that while certain ereaders (like Google Play) seem to only apply automatic word breaking IF there is a hyphenation dictionary installed for a language, others (ReadEra is top of the list) just force block text on the whole title and break words anywhere they like. Is there something we can do, maybe to the CSS (there's currently nothing set that touches on hyphenation), that ALL ereaders are likely to obey?

Related to that - does anyone know if ereaders in general can handle the non-breaking hyphen as a character? We have words like t-aran which ereaders love to break at the hyphen (and I get it why) but there's a language specific rule in our language that says you shouldn't. In normal word processing we use non-breaking hyphens but we've had issues in the past with typesetting software doing strange things to those so we're not sure about how good ereaders are with them?
