Please describe more precisely what you want to do, I'm not quite sure 
what you mean.

Note that it's TeX's default for words with explicit hyphens to allow 
line breaks only after the explicit hyphens. Normally, no hyphenation 
patterns will apply to these words.
If you use the Babel shorthand "= instead of the explicit hyphen, the 
regular patterns will apply to the word parts before and after. This is 
usually fine, but our patterns are intended for "regular" German, 
technical terminology is covered only partly. The terms you state above 
are very special (the first one is French rather than German) and may 
lead to wrong hyphenation points with our patterns.

All the best,
Keno
