[...] Isn’t there a way to list exceptions that will work in *all* languages?

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.

Just in case Hans or other wizard may take a look at this,

Hans, is there any news regarding Pablos wish? Steffen
