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. 

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.

Hi,

Attached is an xml file that describes the hyphenation pattern files. I'd 
appreciate checking (some records are incomplete). I'd also like to add (for 
each language) a couple of tricky hyphenatable words [for testing]. Preferable 
in utf-8 encoding. There is room for more comments as well, like: prefered input 
and font encodings etc.

Hans

Hello,

I find it interesting that, in the plethora of customizable and
internationalized stuff presented by ConTeXt, language names are
not translated. Shouldn't they be?

Here's the framework ... unknown are left in English
(not sure they should be elements either ...)

Looking into cont-en I understood that I have to generate the format files
again for the language Romanian to be avaible.

But when runing texexec --make --language=en, it generates this error:
!Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \??la \s!ro
		\c!status
....
	\c!status=\v!stop

why? For the other languages (it, fr) although it is almost the same, it
does not generate any error...
