What is the easiest way to = have a =E2=80=98database=E2=80=99 of translations for strings and maybe = links?

I now have 4 = languages and 2 versions so 8 documents, but I=E2=80=99d like to have = all translatable strings together so I can maintain these in a single = file. Ideally I can do a file where the key of the translation is one = language (say English) and the translations are part of = that.

Something I can call like this

\translatephrase[English = phrase][nl]
\translatelocation[../LMTX-Output/without-ids/en/file.pdf][nl][= simple]

and = where I can maintain all the translations a bit like this:

\translationentry[English = phrase]{
= \definetranslatephrase[nl]Nederlandse frase]
= \definetranslatephrase[fr][Phrase fran=C3=A7ais]
= }
}

\translatelocation[../LMTX-Output/without-ids/en/file.pdf][simp= le][nl][../LMTX-Output/without-ids/nl/file-simple.pdf]]
\translatelocation[../LMTX-Output/without-ids/en/file.pdf][none= ][nl][../LMTX-Output/without-ids/nl/file.pdf]]

Where the \translatelocation command can be used inside an = \externalfigure command and \translatephrase can be used as as = text.

In the = end I=E2=80=99d like to compile with

context language=3Dfr mode=3Dsimple = mainfile.tex

Doable?

To set language dependent texts you can use the labeltext = mechanism which is used by ConTeXt to change the captions for floats = etc.

Besides the = default \labeltext and \setuplabeltext commands you can create your own = instance of the mechanism for your texts.

%%%% begin example
\definelabelclass [gerben]

\setupgerbentext [en] [phrase=3DEnglish phrase]
\setupgerbentext [nl] = [phrase=3DNederlandse frase]
\setupgerbentext [fr] [phrase=3DPhrase fran=C3=A7ais]
%\mainlanguage[nl]
%\mainlanguage[fr]

\starttext
\gerbentext{phrase}
\stoptext
%%%% end example

To change images you use = multiple sub folders where each folder has images which the same name. = In ConTeXt you can use a mode to choose which directory is used to load = the image. Another method is to map the file names of the images to = symbolic names and use only the symbolic names in your = document.

%%%% begin = example
\setupexternalfigures = [location=3D{local,global,default}]

\useexternalfigure [simple] [cow.pdf]
%\useexternalfigure [simple] = [hacker.png]

\starttext
\externalfigure[simple]
\stoptext
%%%% end example
