Better Hyphenation
I've a third party hyphenation dicationary that I've put together that seems to work rather well on the H2O use firmware 3.12.0. It gives better hyphenation then the default hyphenation dictionary.
The default hyphenation dictionary can be edited to give better results by having the numbers from 5 to 2. The third party hyphenation dictionary is US English. Just download the attachment, unZip it to get the KoboRoot.tgz. Drop it in your .kobo directory in your Reader. After you eject the Reader, it will install the hyphenation dictionaries. This will work with firmware 3.11.0 and up. I've added a Spanish hyphenation dictionary. Update to add in a Hungarian hyphenation dictionary. June 04, 2020 - Portuguese coming soon July 04, 2020 - Updated the English hyphenation dictionary. It should work better with KePub and just as well with ePub. October 02, 2020 - Added German hyphenation dictionary September 14, 2022 - Added Spanish hyphenation dictionary Last edited by JSWolf; 09-14-2022 at 11:36 AM.

I wonder if we should start naming the zip files something OTHER than KoboRoot.zip? Maybe in this case, JSWolfHyphen.zip. Of course, the innards still will be the KoboRoot.tgz file.

I've changed the name of the ZIP file to make it easier to distinguish in case anyone else has a different hyphenation dictionary/dictionaries to post.

Yes, it is a good idea to give them a proper name when making the ZIP. Thanks for that suggestion.

May I ask where this hyphenation dictionary comes from? If it's just Libre Office one, I won't bother.

I'm also going to be posted a new version of the Adobe hyphenation dictionary as well that will give better results due to not needing such large words. I'll be posting that sometime this weekend. |

I don't have better hyphenation (in fact I disable it completely), but here's a small hack that moves the files to USB storage (/.hyph/*.dic) so you can see and modify them directly (or rename them in order to disable).
Tested with my H2O using 3.12.0 firmware. Use at your own risk. This hack is short lived; if you install custom hyphenDicts using a KoboRoot.tgz (or when another firmware update comes along), it will no longer be active and needs to be reinstalled. But you can always extract a hyphendict KoboRoot.tgz yourself and copy the dics to /.hyph/. As for adding additional languages, you can add new hyph_*.dic files to /.hyph/ and then reinstall this hack (otherwise, the Kobo won't see the new file; it has to exist beforehand). And then hope the Kobo will actually use it. EDIT: This hack moved here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=266005 Last edited by frostschutz; 08-28-2016 at 04:56 PM. |

If you can provide the two letters for Turkish and the dictionary file or a link to it, I'll make a new install file for you to try. |

I don't find hyphenation to be a bother at all. In fact, it works rather well. And if you don't want it hyphenating as much, just change the numbers in the hyphenation dictionary to only hyphenate long words.

I think that The Turkish hyphenation dictionary should be hyph_tr.dic. Could you share me if you have "how to create hypenation" files or links? I have found some files but I don't know that could we use them?
