Can I use language as a mode (set on the command line) and simplify this?

Can I use language as a mode (set on the command line) and simplify this?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1162 bytes --]

I currently have:

\startnotallmodes[FR,RU]% english is the default
\enablemode[EN]
\stopmode
\startmode[EN]
\setuplanguage[en][patterns={en}]
\setupexternalfigure[directory=../LMTX-Output/without-ids/en/ArchiMate 3.1 Metamodel ESv4]
\stopmode
\startmode[FR]
\setuplanguage[fr][patterns={en,fr}]
\setupexternalfigure[directory=../LMTX-Output/without-ids/fr/ArchiMate 3.1 Metamodel ESv4]
\stopmode
\startmode[RU]
\setuplanguage[ru][patterns={en,ru}]
\setupexternalfigure[directory=../LMTX-Output/without-ids/ru/ArchiMate 3.1 Metamodel ESv4]
\stopmode

I was wondering if this can be simplified, e.g. by setting language on the command line instead, enable a mode derived from a language set on the command line, and if I would have a single command \setupexternalfigure[directory= that reacts to the language by using the name of the language as part of the directory?

The language settings trigger a system mode, see

Thanks, but how do I influence this from the command line? Does it work the other way around, so with “—mode=en”?

Yours,

G

Hi Gerben,

I think this may do the trick:

  \doiftext{\env{ml}}
    {\mainlanguage[\env{ml}]}
  \starttext
   Document main language:
    \startmodeset
        [**en] {English}
        [**es] {Spanish}
        [**de] {German}
        [**nl] {Dutch}
        [**ru] {Russian}
    \stopmodeset%
   .
  \stoptext

Of course, "--arguments=ml=nl" would be the right option to pass the
language from the command line.

AfaIk, there is not "--language" option from the command line. (This
also makes sense to me.)

Just in case it might help,

Pablo

\doifdocumentargument {language}
   {\mainlanguage[\getdocumentargument{language}]}

\starttext
\currentmainlanguage
\stoptext

Many thanks for the info, Wolfgang.

I see that literally anything goes:

  \doifdocumentargument{anything}
    {\mainlanguage[\getdocumentargument{anything}]}

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
