Hi,

The matter of abbreviations for mathematical functions depends on countries, or maybe on languages: in French, somewhat like in Polish, the trigonometric functions tangent, cotangent are denoted as \tg, \cotg, and \arcsin is printed rather as arc{\,}sin. So the solution pointed out by Hans works fine (it is something like \quote{} which yields different quotation marks depending on how \mainlanguage[] is set). I just tested the example given by Hans with the latest beta… (indeed only in mkiv, since mkii is frozen).
Eventually maybe the best solution would be to have
\setupmathematics[mainlanguage=pl]

Best regards: OK
