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
