I think this is a case of NYI (not yet implemented). Luatex has support
for these parameters, but it looks like mkiv only has the \setuplanguage

In context, "key=value" and "key={value}" are equivalent, except
that the second form allows embedded commas.

The \setuplanguage parameter provides a formatting template for \date.
