Dear TeXperts,
I am running \TeX 3.0 (under SUN OS 4.1) and try to use the new \language
feature in \LaTeX. Therefore I added the lines
   \language1
   \input ghyphen   % german hyphenation patterns
   \language0
after
   \input hyphen
in lplain.tex. (Perhaps not the most elegant solution.)
This works fine in most cases, but \TeX appears to switch back to language 0 in
every floating environment (footnotes, figures and tables, ...). When
explaining overfull \hboxes, \TeX lists
   \setlanguage1
among others. But probably ``\language1'' would be what I want. Even an
explicit ``\language1'', repeated within the floating environment, does not
help. What am I doing wrong?
