Does this means, that the German interface _is_ complete together with the new commands that have English names? Then only the last argument ("it would be hard for us to help you") prevents me from switching to the German interface. (And ... not knowing how to do that...) >> 3.

I could not reverse that. Or because I didn't find out the right commands/option or because it is not possible. I even tried then to set reverse the width of the margins, e. g. the broader one left and small one at the right, so that the notes produced with the code of Hans in the left margin of the text body should find place. Without success. But I'd like to know if this is possible and how. The code of Hans is doubtlessly a very useful code for certain purposes but perhaps less for the purpose I asked for. It sets the (then indeed numbered, "glossary"-) notes pagewise from the top down one after another, so again (as with footnotes) far away from theyr reference text (word, phrase) in the body text. I wanted the effect that I experimented before with the package "footmisc" in LaTeX (footnotes as margin notes), but avoiding having printed two notes on the same place (one over the other, not readable) but in _those_ cases the second note below the first. Perhaps this is not possible in TeX and therefore in ConTeXt neither?
