You can create a new language (and synonyms for it) with the
\installlanguage command, below is a slightly modified version of the
arabic entry. You can change the values for leftquotation etc. and send
the result to Hans.
% this goes into mult-sys.mkiv
\definesystemconstant {persian} \definesystemconstant {fa}
% this goes into lang-def.mkiv
\installlanguage
[\s!fa]
[\c!spacing=\v!broad,
\c!leftsentence=\emdash,
\c!rightsentence=\emdash,
\c!leftsubsentence=\emdash,
\c!rightsubsentence=\emdash,
\c!leftquote=\upperleftsinglesixquote,
\c!rightquote=\upperrightsingleninequote,
\c!leftquotation=\upperleftdoublesixquote,
\c!rightquotation=\upperrightdoubleninequote,
\c!date={\v!day,\space,\v!month,\space,\v!year}]
\installlanguage [\s!persian] [\s!fa]
\installlanguage[\s!fa-ir][\c!default=\s!fa]
The default labels for the languages are stored in lang-txt.lua, you can
add entries for persian and send the modified file to Hans.
