\hyphenation only works for the given language:

  \hyphenation{macOS}
  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
  \currentlanguage:
  \hyphenatedword{macOS}

  \startlanguage[fr]
  \currentlanguage:
  \hyphenatedword{macOS}
  \stoplanguage
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

But I’d say that \registerhyphenationexception[macOS] was
language-independent for me some time ago. (Now it seems to work like
\hyphenation.)

In any case, \registerhyphenationexception seems to have issues with
ligatures:

  \setuphyphenation[method=traditional]
  \registerhyphenationexception[steff-en macOS]
  \registerhyphenationexception[it][steff-en macOS]

  \starttext
  \startTEXpage[offset=1em]
  \currentlanguage:
  \hyphenatedword{steffen macOS}

  \startlanguage[it]
  \currentlanguage:
  \hyphenatedword{steffen macOS}
  \stoplanguage
  \stopTEXpage
  \stoptext

If there isn’t a command to add language-indepented hyphenation
exceptions or patterns, one for proper names (for people, products or
companies) would be really useful.

Just in case Hans or other wizard may take a look at this,

Pablo
