hello all,
I am a graduate student and am a latex user. I try out ConTeXt out of
curiousity. I have read through "latex in proper context" and
"cont-enp.pdf", and have try a few examples. my brief experiences with
ConTeXt have been wonderful. I can basically do 70-80% in ConTeXt what I
normally do in latex. my thanks/congratulation to Han/Pragma/etc. ConTeXt is
simply great.
My problem:
I am using tetex on linux box. I use latex to typeset documents in "malay"
language. two problems accur; labelling and hyphenation. I solve the
labelling problem with these hack;
\setupheadtext[content=Daftar Isi ]
\setuplabeltext[chapter=Bab ]
.....
with respect to hyphenation;
1) can I add "malay" hyphenation to the format? ( the file is inhyphn.tex in
tetex distribution) I realise that context is property of Pragma, and
changing the source is not allowed.
2) if so, a brief how-to would be great. I am familiar on how to generate a
new tex/latex format.
many thanks in advance.

(1) To what language group does malay belong? This determines the lang-*
file that needs to be extended
(2) What is the language code of malay?
(3) How are the hyphenation patters named?
(4) What labels are to be defined?
If I have answers to this, I can add malay support rather fast, generating
a format is then done by:
texexec --lang=ml,en en
(for an english format with ml patterns)

"malay" use the normal a,b,c,d,....,z. there is no special char/shape exist.

malay is used in Malaysia and Indonesia. from
http://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/, I have;
Malay [may]
>From http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/iso639a.html, I have
language code language family

in babel, it is /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/inhyph.tex. small, just
3.2k file.
> (4) What labels are to be defined?
using the standard english->malay dictionary, (use names from babel's
bahasa.ldf and lang-ger.tex). Some of it probably irrelevant.;
