I'd prefer Czech ConTeXt with English interface only :-)

Oops, I've tried it before but the fonts get broken (characters with
accents are not displayed in dvi). Maybe I misunderstand the ideas of
multilanguage interface and texexec switches, I think --interface says,
what language the ConTeXt commands are and the language of the messages,
--language says what hyphenating patterns to use (it's the same as
\mainlanguage[xx], isn't it).

The format determines the set of hyphenation patterns (they are
hardcoded in it), sets the default language, default font and may
install additional languages. The generated words (Chapter, Contents and
so on) should be also set to the default language of the format.

How does interface depend on format? I think I should use `format of the
language of the document' being able to switch to any interface
installed in the format. (In fact, I'm sure that most Czech users use
English interfaces, why shouldn't they use texexec --format=cont-cz
--interface=en? Or without setting the interface if someone likes Czech
commands?)

Where am I wrong? How the things really are? BTW, if I change
cont-usr.tex and regenerate formats, does it change all the formats? Is
cont-usr.tex loaded by the \loaduserspecifications command in
cont-{en,cz,...}?

Sorry for bothering too much and thanks for answer
