[bug #59814] [PATCH] improve internationalization at startup

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #59814 (project groff):


[comment #2 comment #2:]
> As suggested in _bug #53413 comment #13
<http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53413#comment13>_, the new tmac/en.tmac could
also call ".hy 4", as the English patterns require.

I've done this.

> tmac/en.tmac could go one step further and incorporate the patch attached to
bug #57556.  (The patch as submitted adds the code to tmac/troffrc, but that's
no longer the right place under the current bug's new framework.)  The code in
this patch sets an initial .hy value and then redefines the .hy request to
prevent the user from later calling it with a value incompatible with the
English patterns.

This, I'm dubious about.  It would make it impossible to switch languages
mid-document and get appropriate hyphenation for the other language(s).
