Hi, I uploaded a beta to the website (so the garden will follow in an hour). Apart from a few fixes and experimental features, the most important change is in the language department. The following should work \starttext \setupbodyfont[xits,12pt] \setuplanguage[ru][patterns={ru,us}] \setuplanguage[en][patterns={us,ru}] \setuplanguage[de][patterns={de,ru}] \start \language[ru] \dorecurse{50}{Multilingual }\dorecurse{50}{русский текст } \par \stop \start \language[en] \dorecurse{50}{Multilingual }\dorecurse{50}{русский текст } \par \stop \start \language[de] \dorecurse{50}{Multilingual }\dorecurse{50}{русский текст } \par \stop \stoptext you can add more patterns to an existing set so \setuplanguage[en][patterns=ru] will use us+ru patterns. You can say {reset,ru} if needed. Also available is: \startexceptions[en] xxx-yyy-zzz \stopexceptions \hyphenatedword{xxxyyyzzz} ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
