Here we go: it uses the dutch interface because there is no explicit
interface given in the file nor on the command line, and it so happens
that line 3 of <whatever>.ted contains

   \startdocumentation

This matches the dutch heuristics for interface discovery because
it is a superset of \startdocument. The second case in scantexcontent
in tex.rb probably should have something like a \b at the end of the
match.

I was confused because

    texexec --interface=en char-utf.ted

doesn't work either, but that is unrelated. You need to preload
a module that texexec --module would load automatically:

   texexec --interface=en --use=mod-01 char-utf.ted

That should do it.

Best wishes,
Taco
