Hello Bue,
Would it be an option for you to do the hyphenation beforehand, using a
standard tool? Liblouis has a function `translatePrehyphenated'. You give
it the input text and input hyphenation points, and it gives you the
translated text and output hyphenation points back. See
https://github.com/liblouis/liblouis/blob/master/liblouis/lou_translateString.c#L278.
We use this approach at SBS.
Kind regards,
Bert
