Warning: the transliteration used in Steffen's document is (or at least the example is) lossy and as such will likely produce wrong hyphenation output no matter the applied method of making TeX hyphenate it. The transliteration (in the example) is also inconsistent - if you tried to reverse transliterate it to Cyrillic, you would not only miss some characters, but you would also get some other characters wrong. Examples: - 'subjektov' is 'субъектов', - 'vneshnejekonomicheskih' is 'внешнеэкономических', thus 'je' stands for both 'ъе' and for 'э'. This however could be just the authors typo. In such case 'subjektov' should be corrected to 'sub"ektov'. The way to achieve a univocal (one-to-one) transliteration would be first to reverse transliterate it to Cyrillic, and then transliterate back to Latin using ISO 9 transliteration standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9 The example 'О координации международных и внешнеэкономических связей субъектов Российской Федерации' would then output 'O koordinacii meždunarodnyh i vnešneèkonomičeskih svâzej sub"ektov Rossijskoj Federacii'. This however I wouldn't consider a very human-readable output. A very handy tool for experiments can be found here: http://translit.cc/ On the margin: Wouldn't it be much better to use just Cyrillic for that? -- Andrzej Orłowski-Skoczyk ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
