Hi Rik,
see this sample:
{\es \hyphenation{Schwarz-en-egger}}
{\en \hyphenation{epi-graphs Mount-weazels Mount-weazel}}
\hyphenation{Schwarz-en-egger}
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
\hyphenatedword{Schwarzenegger} \\
{\es\hyphenatedword{Schwarzenegger}} \\
\hyphenatedword{Mountweazel} \\
\hyphenatedword{Mountweazels} \\
\hyphenatedword{epigraph} \\
\hyphenatedword{epigraphs}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
I have just realized that it isn’t a question of \startexceptions, it is
just \hyphenation itself.
BTW, either I totally missing the issue or \hyphenation doesn’t work for
all languages, it only works for US English (the default language).
That being said, I wonder whether it makes sense to define two instances
of hyphenation exceptions.

I used \registerhyphenationexceptions and I didn’t get the impression it
was so tricky. But this was years ago and I don’t remember which file it
was.
Sorry for not giving more help,
Pablo
