Test results

• NO: The hyphenation works, but I want it to hyphenate more. I think Bert/Ammar is working on a solution.
• SE
  • Main script: No word has been hyphenated, lines are broken between the words.
  • MTM script: OK

In order to enable automatic hyphenation for all elements (the whole book), the following CSS snippet should be included (see also http://snaekobbi.github.io/braille-css-spec/#dfn-hyphens):

dtbook {
  hyphens: auto;
}

Neither the default style sheet (Mischa use no custom CSS) nor the CSS file that Jens used have this yet.

Another reason why hyphenation didn't work for Jens (that is, if he used (translator:mtm)), is that the MTM translator doesn't support hyphenation yet in pre-translation mode. However why words were simply cut when a row is finished is not clear to me yet. Will investigate.
