For typesetting a context module I did the following, first making
a .ted file and then typesetting it:
texmfstart ctxtools --documentation --type=pdf char-utf.tex
texmfstart texexec --silent --pdf --autopdf
However I got an unknown format cont-nl.fmt. Why is nl chosen?
What I am doing wrong here?
I always use cont-en.fmt and have my MacOSX preference language set to
english.
How can I change the obvious default behaviour from nl to en?

Nothing, but ted files use dutch macro commands, so they need
the dutch interface.
For the record: you can switch to another interface with
texexec --interface=en ...
but it won't work for ted files.
Best wishes,
Taco

I was totally misinforming you, sorry. Let me start over... hangon.

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

ah, i can remove that test because i don't think that nowadays anyone is
using startdocument (old functionality to build styles for letters,
stickers, etc)

or
texexec --modu char-utf.tex
thinking of it ... i add this feature to one of the mtx-* files because:
(1) the whole conversion can be done in memory so no intermediate file
is needed
(2) the xml interface loading when using luatex is less demanding (and
can result in faster runs for bigger documents
