Hi everyone,
I want to be able to use persian interface in context. So I tried to
create two files cont-pe.xml and cont-pe.tex for this purpose. Now my
questions are:
1- Am I supposed to just create these two files and then run context
--make cont-pe.
2- Can context accept these two files in UTF-8 encoding.
Thanks

you need to adapt mult-con and mult-com but at the same time we need to
adapt mult-sys, so as an experiment if things work out ok, just play a
bit with mult-con/com e.g. replace a few harmless commands in the
english interface and see if things work ok for persian
footnote: voetnoot footnote
fussnote poznamkapodcarou
notapdp notasubsol
notepdp
eventually persian can become the 8th entry
footnote: voetnoot somethingpersian
fussnote poznamkapodcarou
notapdp notasubsol
notepdp
\somethingpersian then should give you a footnote
(we never really tested it with utf8 input so far)
(when i have time i will (for luatex) make this mechanism different i.e.
just lua tables from which i then can generate the con/com files)

Hi Hans and everybody,
I did as you said and saw two things.
1- The good news: it is possible to assign another name (even persian)
for an option name. For example the word "packed" which is used as an
option in some commands like \setupitemize works well if you
substitute it with anything.
2- The bad news: names of commands (I mean words that is used in the
input file with a backslash in front of them like footnote or
setupsomething) are not well behaved if we change them in
mult.con.tex. I tried to change for example the word "footnote" with a
persian word with more than one character and in the running time I
got the error that that command is not defined. But I was able to
redefine footnote with a just one (persian) character.
Thanks

You need characters with catcode 11 for the commands and most of the
chars outside the ASCII range have catcode 12 which can be used only
in commands with the length 1 like your footnote example.
Here is a example how to use umlauts for the german interface:
\catcode`ü=11
\startcommands dutch english
german czech
italian romanian
french
definittete
setuphead: stelkopin setuphead
stelleüberschriftein nastavnadpis
impostatesta seteazatitlu
regletete
\stopcommands

hm, maybe the catcode initialization takes place too late
> Here is a example how to use umlauts for the german interface:
in the next beta this system is replaced by another one:
- mult-def.lua
this is a table that has all variables, constants, elements and commands
in a hash which then can be extended without the need to adapt the tex code
- mult-en, mult-de, mult-nl ...
these are generated by mtxrun --script interface --contect
- cont-en.xml cum suis
the derived ones are also generated by the previously mentioned command
- stripped down mult-ini.{mkii,mkiv}
the other two files (mult-con and mult-com) are no longer used
taco and i are currently checking the new zip
