I needed hours of searching to figure out that ugly trick with
"--translate-file=cp1250pl", but please, please: do not use it. Around
2005 support for
    \enableregime[cp1250]
has been added and that one is much more reliable.

(I would say: try to convince your editor to support utf-8 instead,
and write your source in utf-8 with \enableregime[utf-8], if that is
an option. UTF-8 is much more future-oriented.)

Why do you need plr?

Doesn't it work fine if you simply use
\setupbodyfont[12pt]

or, perhaps one needs

\usetypescript[modern][qx]
\setupbodyfont[modern,12pt]

for Polish. There should be no need to have plr. They will be removed
sooner or later anyway (or will map to existing encodings).

Which version of ConTeXt are you using? (Well, if you have MikTeX,
that should not be a problem.)

Here it seems to work fine, although I have problems seing your characters.

Simply use
   texexec --make --all
You don't need plr.

Can you send a minimal example if the problem persists?
