Ah, OK. I think I see the problem. For some reason (probably because
they use a different format) you cannot use the hyphenation table as a
translation table that you pass to lou_hyphenate. Instead the
translation table that you use must contain a "include hyph_en_US.dic"
statement. This should maybe be explained a bit better in the
documentation
(http://liblouis.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/liblouis.html#Hyphenation-Tables).
So what you should probably do is to extend the table you are using
(e.g. en-us-g2.ctb) with a "include hyph_en_US.dic" statement. Then try
your hyphenate function again.
