FWIW, I have modified the latex.sh recipe so that one can specify via a SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES variable a blank separated list of languages (by their Babel names) for which hyphenation has to be added to the format (hyphenation patterns have still to be compiled in the format and can not be put afterwards at user level).
For example: $ SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES="french ukenglish ngerman russian" \ $KERTEX_SHELL latex.sh install Will add french, english extended (compared to hyphen.tex; "english" is not a Babel name and refers to D.E.K.'s original hyphen.tex; Babel has "ukenglish" and "usenglishmax"), german post 1996 and russian, for hyphenation to the format. The dedicated Babel packages (fre...@latex.sh etc.) have still to be added afterwards for "user level" particularisations.
