It works with etex too if you use
I made changes to texinfo.tex and all the txi-??.tex files to implement
this. Thanks very much for the suggestion and code.

Do you want to?
Will have a look, but I can't promise anything due to time
constraints.
To get some basic non-English hyphenation support, almost nothing has
to be changed if you use the current TeXLive. Here I demonstrate what
to do for German.

Wouldn't it work with etex? I don't see that any eplain-specific
features are being used. (\makeat*er being trivial, as we all know.)
texi2dvi already uses etex (or pdf[e]tex) when they are present. So in
this case, I don't

No. As outlined in babel.pdf, plain.tex must not be modified, thus
there are only US-English hyphenation patterns available.

Not so. etex loads all the patterns (and plain.tex remains unmodified,
of course). This was a change in 2008, although it could have been done
earlier.

Sorry, my mistake. It works with etex too if you use this snippet
instead of the previous one:

It would be very nice.
Basically, it should be just an interface to the plain TeX
implementation of Babel, right?
I don't know. All we really have to do is set \language. Do we need
Babel for that?

Yes.

Clearly we have to map from the existing @documentlanguage strings in
Texinfo to the numbers that were dumped in the .fmt file for the various
languages. If Babel can help us do that, and

Has someone worked on this already?
