Hello all, The hyphenation patterns for lithuanian language are missing. So, how does one add a new language and hyphenation patterns for ConTeXt?

In scripts/context/lua/mtx-patterns.lua Hans needs to add { "la", "hyph-la.tex", "latin" }, [after this line] { "lt", "hyph-lt.tex", "lithuanian" }, { "lv", "hyph-lv.tex", "latvian" }, and regenerate the patterns (and double-checking that nothing broke in the meantime). [You can also take hyph-lt.tex and copy it to tex/context/patterns/lang-lt.pat as a temporary solution.] Apart from that you need to submit translation for your language (see lang-ger.tex and lang-bal.tex), or at least that would be very nice. Some settings there are necessary if you want to enable the extra patterns. There are some more things to be done, but you may start by translating the strings and filling other holes in lang-bal.tex. The main question is: do you need them only for MKIV/XeTeX or do you also want them for MKII? In the latter case you'll have quite some problems with encoding (that is: missing support for it in fonts). In MKIV & XeTeX it should be no problem. Mojca

But this needs to be done by Marius (or someone else). Before anyone asks: l7x that needs to be used by Lithuanian in MKII is not supported in ConTeXt yet, so maybe the sensible setting in lang-bal.tex would be: \installlanguage [\s!lt] [... \s!mapping=, % the correct setting is l7x for both \s!encoding=] if that means that the patterns will be loaded in xetex/luatex and not in pdftex at all. Alternatively we could add support. Latin Modern and TeX Gyre both support it (added in 2007 to LM and fixed in 2009 for TG; I thought that l7x was missing in most fonts). Mojca

To do it I need to understand what all these parameters mean. \installlanguage [..1.] [..,.=2.,..] 1 IDENTIFIER 2 spacing = packed broad lefthyphenmin = NUMBER righthyphenmin = NUMBER state = start stop leftsentence = COMMAND rightsentence = COMMAND leftsubsentence = COMMAND rightsubsentence = COMMAND leftquote = COMMAND rightquote = COMMAND leftquotation = COMMAND rightquotation = COMMAND leftspeech = COMMAND middlespeech = COMMAND rightspeech = COMMAND limittext = TEXT date = TEXT compoundhyphen = COMMAND leftcompoundhyphen = COMMAND rightcompoundhyphen = COMMAND default = IDENTIFIER What is the difference between quote and quotation? I always use double quote, like this: „example“ Next, I need to know there all strings, which I translate, will be used. Maybe, there is an example document with all english strings used. For example: Figure 1: Caption of the figure 1 pav. Caption of the figure Table 1: Caption of the table 1 lentelė. Caption of the table In a table of contents and in section names there must be period after number: 1. Name 1.1. Name2 1.1.2. Name3 exept: Chapter 1 1 skyrius

In MKIV & XeTeX it should be no problem.

I use utf8 and MKIV.

To do it I need to understand what all these parameters mean. \installlanguage [..1.] [..,.=2.,..] 1 IDENTIFIER 2 spacing = packed broad lefthyphenmin = NUMBER should be 2 righthyphenmin = NUMBER should be 2 - the minimum number of characters that are allowed to the left and right of hyphen character.

start - enable language

Take a look at other examples in lang-ger/ita/sla/....tex. You need to write date format.

There is no, but maybe we could make one :)

Nice. I guess that you gave a nice homework to Hans :) I didn't check, but I have not seen any setting to change the order of number & label yet.

In a table of contents and in section names there must be period after number:

This can be fixed in mkiv; a bit harder in mkii.

1. Name 1.1. Name2 1.1.2. Name3 exept: Chapter 1 1 skyrius

That's fine then. Mojca

I don't what Hans current meaning about language specific settings is but in MkII you could have done this with: \startlanguagespecifics[\s!lt] \setuphads[\c!sectionstopper=.] \stoplanguagespecifics You get now a dot at the end of the section number when write \mainlanguage[lithuanian] in the preamble of your document.

Here's the encoding vector (one needs to add it to at least enco-ini.mkii and font-enc.lua, maybe to typescripts as well, though not necessary if you don't plan to use mkii). It's not too well tested and I also wasn't able to decrypt what all the characters in encoding are. (In particular case mappings for german double s and dotless i might be wrong.) Then you can use encoding=l7x in lang-bal.tex. It seems to work for me, though I have no idea if it also works properly. Mojca

Yes, this would be a good solution.

I think in lithuanian must be: lefthyphenmin = 1 righthyphenmin = 1 *a-ša-ra* *Ro-me-o* http://www.vlkk.lt/lit/nutarimai/rasyba/zodziu-kelimas.html http://www.vlkk.lt/lit/nutarimai/rasyba/zodziu-kelimas.html

There is no nested punctuation symbols in lithuanian language. All symbols are listed here: http://www.vlkk.lt/lit/nutarimai/dokumentas.156.html They are: 2. Lietuvių kalboje vartojami skyrybos ženklai: taškas ( . ), kablelis ( , ), kabliataškis ( ; ), dvitaškis ( : ), brūkšnys ( – ), klaustukas ( ? ), šauktukas ( ! ), daugtaškis ( ... ), skliaustai: atidaromasis ( ( ), uždaromasis ( ) ); kabutės: atidaromosios ( „ ), uždaromosios ( “ ). As said here: http://www.vlkk.lt/lit/7696 I can use nested quotations like this (droped one quote at the begining of quotation): Pabrango „Utenos“ Utenos“ alus. A said: „B said: „some sentence“. (droped one quote at the end) Or if it is not clear I can quote in italic or bold or etc. A said: „B said: *some sentence“.* **

One thing that doesn't work here is \s!mapping=, \s!encoding=, It doesn't respect the fact that I don't want to use any patterns in mkii (encoding={ec,il2} works properly, but empty parameter seem to assume ec by default). Maybe we need to add l7x support after all (or Hans needs to fix the behaviour). Else TeX MKII reports invalid patterns. Mojca

you could probably disable the default fallback language for lt then but maybe indeed we need to add 17x Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
