XeLaTeX and pdfLaTeX ignore hyphenation
I'm trying to get all hyphenations that the LaTeX-algorithm gives out. So I'm trying this:
echo "\documentclass{standalone}
\hyphenation{Py-ra-mi-de}
\showhyphens{Pyramide}" | xelatex
This does not give me any errors, so that the output contains
TU/lmr/m/n/10 Py-ra-mide
which I can parse for. But the hyphenation that it gives me is not Py-ra-mi-de, but Py-ra-mide. What do I do wrong here?

The default language (American English) sets lefthyphenmin=2 and righthyphenmin=3. Thus no TeX engine will hyphenate past the m, whatever hyphenation points you define.
If you try
documentclass{article}
usepackage[italian,english]{babel}
begin{document}
hyphenation{Py-ra-mi-de}
showhyphens{Pyramide}
selectlanguage{italian}
hyphenation{Py-ra-mi-de}
showhyphens{Pyramide}
end{document}
you get
Underfull hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 8--8
TU/lmr/m/n/10 Py-ra-mide
Underfull hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 14--14
TU/lmr/m/n/10 Py-ra-mi-de
It wouldn't be necessary to set the hyphenation points again, actually, because the hyphenation you want fits into the patterns for Italian. The settings for this language have lefthyphenmin=2 and righthyphenmin=2.
