mixing Greek and English texts

mixing Greek and English texts

[Pablo Rodríguez]

Hi there,

I would like to typeset a classical Greek text that contains a
Greek-English dictionary and other explanations in English with Greek
passages.

In order to get proper hyphenation, I should define English as main
language and tag all Greek in the text. This is a lot of work.

The whole thing would be to apply command \agr when
range={greekandcoptic,greekextended}.

How could I do that?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo

When you go to archive.contextgarden.net and type "Greek hyphenation" 
into the search box, this is the first hit (after your own message):

Thanks for your help, Thomas.

BTW, which are the commands for modern polytonic and monotonic Greek
hyphenation?

Thanks again for your help,

I don't think we have support for modern Greek in ConTeXt now. Someone 
would have to prepare the patterns and the punctuation rules, and here 
it would make sense to provide a complete set of translations for 
sections, labels, etc. So this is a task waiting for a volunteer.

I think I could contribute myself,, but first I have to learn how to add
a new language.

Many thanks for your help,
