I thought that \hyphenation would work like that, or \startexceptions without a language code. Apparently that's not the case.
\hyphenation only works for the given language: \hyphenation{macOS} \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \currentlanguage: \hyphenatedword{macOS} \startlanguage[fr] \currentlanguage: \hyphenatedword{macOS} \stoplanguage \stopTEXpage \stoptext But I’d say that \registerhyphenationexception[macOS] was language-independent for me some time ago. (Now it seems to work like \hyphenation.) In any case, \registerhyphenationexception seems to have issues with ligatures: \setuphyphenation[method=traditional] \registerhyphenationexception[steff-en macOS] \registerhyphenationexception[it][steff-en macOS] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] \currentlanguage: \hyphenatedword{steffen macOS} \startlanguage[it] \currentlanguage: \hyphenatedword{steffen macOS} \stoplanguage \stopTEXpage \stoptext If there isn’t a command to add language-indepented hyphenation exceptions or patterns, one for proper names (for people, products or companies) would be really useful.
