\language[de] ?

\language[de] ?

Hi,

Doing my first steps with ConTeXt (after about ten years
experience with LaTeX) I was running into the following
problem.

Running the enclosed example I got still the english
version (as can be seen in the 'Contents'-title of the
TOC).

% language=de tex=pdfetex output=pdftex
\language[de]
\starttext
\completecontent
Test äöü
\stoptext

I'm using ConTeXt version 2003.9.25 (fmt 2004.8.31) - 
rather old, I know, but I don't believe that this might
be the source of my problem since the manual is
older ...

Regards,

Jürgen

How old is your TeX installation, the name of the binary is now pdftex
and no longer pdfetex

Use \mainlanguage[de], \language is just for local switches.

You won't get far with that oldtimer.
