The hyphenation patterns for lithuanian language are missing. So, how does one add a new language and hyphenation patterns for ConTeXt?
In scripts/context/lua/mtx-patterns.lua Hans needs to add
{ "la", "hyph-la.tex", "latin" }, [after this line] { "lt", "hyph-lt.tex", "lithuanian" }, { "lv", "hyph-lv.tex", "latvian" },
and regenerate the patterns (and double-checking that nothing broke in the meantime). [You can also take hyph-lt.tex and copy it to tex/context/patterns/lang-lt.pat as a temporary solution.]
ok, generated, will be next beta, untested and unchecked of course
Thanks a lot.
Apart from that you need to submit translation for your language (see lang-ger.tex and lang-bal.tex), or at least that would be very nice. Some settings there are necessary if you want to enable the extra patterns. There are some more things to be done, but you may start by translating the strings and filling other holes in lang-bal.tex.
patterns indeed won't work until we have an entry in lang0-.tex for lithuanian
But this needs to be done by Marius (or someone else). Before anyone asks: l7x that needs to be used by Lithuanian in MKII is not supported in ConTeXt yet, so maybe the sensible setting in lang-bal.tex would be: \installlanguage [\s!lt] [... \s!mapping=, % the correct setting is l7x for both \s!encoding=] if that means that the patterns will be loaded in xetex/luatex and not in pdftex at all. Alternatively we could add support. Latin Modern and TeX Gyre both support it (added in 2007 to LM and fixed in 2009 for TG; I thought that l7x was missing in most fonts). Mojca
