I want to use a variable for a font size so I can set it based on =
language (as some translated texts have widely different sizes)

This fails:

%=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D
\newdimen\relationsFontSize
\relationsFontSize=3D8pt
\starttext
\switchtobodyfont[\relationsFontSize]
Hello, world!
\stoptext
%=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D

How can I use a variable to steer \switchtobodyfont size?
