This is more or less the equivalent of \usepackage[italian]{babel} for LaTeX. To ensure that ConTeXt knows about the Italian hyphenation patterns, have a look at cont-usr.tex in your texmf/tex/context/user directory and make sure that the line \installlanguage [\s!it] [\c!status=\v!start] % italian is uncommented. If it's not, change the file and recreate the cont-en format (assuming that's what you're using). You should not need any other change. To enable automatic recognition of the accented letters, you need to use \enableregime[il1] (assuming that your text editor saves the extended characters in ISO-Latin-1 format). This is more or less the equivalent of \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} for LaTeX. (BTW, there is a cont-it format (texexec --make it) with pre-selected italian hyphenation patterns and where italian is the main language; this format also has most ConTeXt commands translated to italian, so that for example you use \iniziatesto ... \terminatesto instead of \starttext ... \stoptext --you may want to give it a try.) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
