there has been a time that this was possible, but inpractice it's not 
that handy ... specifying the language should be part of the document 
preamble; in that time we had no gyre and as language is related to 
patterns + font encodings in mkii it was even more tricky

one thing that you can do is add \mainlanguage[gb] to cont-sys.tex 
default to brittish english so that on your system it always starts that 
way; the overhead is nil
