Russian hyphenation support in Kobalt

[kroshka4aplin]

Hi! I noticed that the Russian hyphenation dictionary seems to be missing from Kobalt, although it is available in KOReader.

I mainly read books in Russian and haven't noticed any obvious issues with word hyphenation so far, but I'm curious how Kobalt currently handles Russian text without the dictionary.

Would it be possible to include Russian hyphenation patterns in a future release, or was their exclusion intentional?

Thanks!

They'll be added in beta 5. It was not an intentional exclusion, I started which a selection of hyphenation dictionaries and then added some more by popular request.

Let me know if you find it working correctly in this build:

Just tested the new build on my Kobo Forma, and Russian hyphenation is working perfectly!

The difference is immediately noticeable: words are now hyphenated correctly, and the spacing between words is much more consistent with justified text.

Even the total page count for my current book dropped from 509 to 499.

Thank you for adding this so quickly! The typography looks even better now.
