This is currently not possible. There are 2 main problems:
- the languages in ELAN are implemented as "input methods" and these need to be integrated with the (Java) system. New input methods have to be packed in a .jar (kind of .zip) and installed in the \lib\ext directory of the Java Runtime Environment. Most languages provided by ELAN are based on the Gate Unicode Kit and it's not so easy to extend this without creating a new .jar etc.
- the current list of languages is hardcoded in ELAN and contains a subset of GUK and a number of languages provided by MPI
We would like to make this all a bit more flexible in the future; for now third party tools like Keyman are probably the best solution.
