Hello, Is there something like \startlanguagespecifics[fr] ... \stoplanguagespecifics in mkiv? Does it make sense, to keep the module t-french.tex? I would like to integrate \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] everywhere (text, headers, footers and so on), but when a user loads the module and changes settings for headers or footers afterwards, that setting would be overwritten. Thus, if there are no methods, to do such things, I would drop the module and french specific settings have to be set up on a per document basis. What do you think? -- Peter

I'll add a setups option ... \startsetups dutch:cow \externalfigure[cow.pdf][frame=on] \stopsetups \setuplanguage[nl][setups=dutch:cow] \starttext test\language[dutch]test \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks! Will there also be a possibility to reset settings, when leaving a language? I had used this before:
\appendtoks \setcharacterspacing[reset] \to \everyresetlanguagespecifics
the reset issue is the reason why there is no mechanism yet ... your example is an an indication of this: it would reset globally set spacing on the other hand, when you switch language, it will normally happen grouped so settings are local then Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Requiring grouping is good, but it would not solve this specific case: the mainlanguage is a global setting. Something like "\setuplanguage[all, !fr][setups=not-french]" would help, that means setups for all languages but French. Or just \setuplanguage[all][...].

There is \setuplanguage[default][..,.=.,..]. Wolfgang
