Hello ConTeXt gurus,
Is there a way to set some assignments in particular language only?
I have the following problem: in ukrainian, apostrophe (') is a letter and
should have lccode 39 to get words with it hyphenated. So I use
\startlanguagespecifics[ua]
\lccode`'=`'
\stoplanguagespecifics
But then, when I switch to another language, \lccode`' doesn't restore to 0,
which can lead to improper hyphenation, as ' is used in quotes.
Should the definitions which are "language specific" be forgotten when switching
to another language? Or maybe there is (or should be) something like
\everylanguage hook: \addtoeverylanguage{\lccode`'=0}?
Olya

in lang-ger you can see examples of using language specific sections in
encoding definitions.
concerning lccodes: this is tricky business since they *are* stored with
the language, so they should be set when reading in the hyphenations
