Yes.
. Select an 8-bit encoding you want to use for the Russian
hyphenation. Only characters in the ranges 0x20-0x7e and
0xa0-0xfe can be used. Convert your hyphenation patterns to this
encoding; expanding all macros. Use `hyphen.cs' as a template.
. Set up a mapping from groff input characters (and implicitly vice
versa) to this Russian encoding. Use `latin2.tmac' as a template.
. Write a language support file which defines a hyphenation
language, activates the characters used for the hyphenation
patterns, and loads them. Use `cs.tmac' as a template.
That's it! For, say, UTF-8 encoded Russian input files use groff's -k
option to use the new `preconv' preprocessor.
