Here's the answer to your question "How" --

To add a language personality to the IDE, you must contact the RAD Studio R&D team and get special permission from the company to have access to non-public packages, interfaces, and APIs.

As shipped, there is no way to add a language personality to RAD Studio.

Now, having said that, as of Delphi XE it is /much/ easier to add a module into the Code Editor and Project Manager. There was a lot of work done by the IDE team to make adding items into the Code Editor, and that is available in XE.
