What ?contradiction? I thought you mean "contraction"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraction_(grammar)
This is my understanding. FAQ had similar statement.

I do not understand German. Just guessing ... There is a way to
customize hyphenation for each language in the other sources for DDP but
not implimented for history. Only German's are interested to bother and
not so simple. I do not have time now to update build script but
developers-reference or quick-reference subdirectory may give you some
idea how it is done.
Good luck,
