For the benefit of the mailing list archive, this means you
can write in lua:
if "\currentmainlanguage"=="cz" then
Except that that will not work because 'cz' is just an alias for 'cs',
so you should test for that instead:
if "\currentmainlanguage"=="cs" then
context("Ahoj!")
elseif "\currentmainlanguage"=="en" then
context("Hello!")
Best wishes,
Taco
