I tried this:
\starttext
\hyphenatedword{transformational} \hyphenatedword{transformational} \hyphenatedword{transformational} \hyphenatedword{transformational} \hyphenatedword{transformational} \hyphenatedword{transformational} \hyphenatedword{transformational} \hyphenatedword{transformational}
\stoptext
Overfull message, but no hyphens.

OK, this is where the fun begins... Sorry, I did not read your first message properly. You say you have this in your format log:
language : no patterns en for en (n=1,e=ec,m=ec) (lang- en.pat,ukhyph.tex ) language : hyphenations en for en loaded (n=1,e=ec,m=ec) (/usr/TeX/texmf/tex/context/patterns/lang-us.hyp)) language : patterns en for en loaded (n=1,e=*,m=*) language : hyphenations en for en loaded (n=1,e=*,m=*) language : no patterns uk for uk (n=2,e=ec,m=ec) (lang- uk.pat,ukhyph.tex ) language : hyphenations uk for uk loaded (n=2,e=ec,m=ec)
I have this at an earlier stage. Later, there's a message that the patterns get loaded: language : patterns en for en loaded (n=22,e=ec,m=ec) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-us.pat) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-us.hyp) language : patterns uk for uk loaded (n=23,e=ec,m=ec) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-uk.pat) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-uk.hyp) language : patterns us for us loaded (n=24,e=ec,m=ec) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-us.pat) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-us.hyp) language : patterns agr for agr loaded (n=25,e=agr,m=agr) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.pat) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.hyp) and so on. Do you have these messages as well? Otherwise: no patterns ==> no hyphenation. Best Thomas
