Hi,
anybody at any time should add the appropriate settings for German to
the lang-ger.tex file:
\unprotect
\setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!page=Seite~]
\setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!atpage=auf Seite~]
\setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!hencefore=oben]
\setuplabeltext [\s!de] [\v!hereafter=unten]
\protect
\setuplanguage [de] [lefthyphenmin=2,righthyphenmin=3]
\setuphyphenmark[sign=normal]
This is no major problem, but it is inconvenient to have to add the
settings each and any time when you make a new document, or to have a
corrrection file in your texmf-local (not the proper way).
The lefthyphenmin=2 may be subject to discuss, but in real life this
is the way we separate words. I know that it was considered ugly by
some people/insitutions, but I think these considerations are rather
obsolete. Set it to 3 if your doc has >90 letters/line in general. But
this shouldn't be the default setting. Think of all the prefixed verbs
'ergreifen', 'erstatten' etc. It *may* lead to *some* unwanted
separations, but this should be handled by the hyphenation patterns.
Best wishes
Thomas
