The lou_checkhyphens tool is now available in svn. It is intended to check hyphenation tables and the performance of the lou_hyphenate function in lou_translateString.c . It is completely interactive, like lou_allround . lou_hyphenate has received some bugfixes. There are more to come. Hyphenation of translated words isn't too satisfactory.
