Here is something I think that should be added to the documentation.

In the ConTeXt garden (page Command/mainlanguage) the description is:

mainlanguage Set the language of auto-generated language elements, like =
the title of the table of contents or the appendix.

On the Command/language page:

Change the hyphenation rules, quotation marks, all that sort of thing, =
to that of a different language. (The default language is English.)

Testing showed that \mainlanguage sets both \currentlanguage and =
\currentmainlanguage to the same value, while \language sets =
\currentlanguage only.

My suggestion is to add info to this behaviour to the mainlanguage page, =
reflecting the fact that \mainlanguage does set both \currentlanguage =
and \currentmainlanguage.Which is not apparent from the current =
documentation.=20

Another solution would be to separate \language and \mainlanguage =
completely. An option I would prefer for clarity, because now the order =
of calling \language and \mainlanguage makes a difference.
