Hi all,
I want to add new units to the \unit{} command but I can't find how to do it. I
found that one can changes existing units with the following luacode:
languages.data.labels.units.whatever = {Meter = "retem"}
but I found nothing to add new ones.
I would like to have, for exemple:
\unit{50 milli volt per division} to give: 50 mV/div.
Thanks in advance.

\registerunit [division=div]

Thank you.
It was in fact in a comment in 'phys-dim.mkiv' but I didn't saw it.
This lead to another question linked to these comments in 'phys-dim.mkiv'…
Technically, what's the difference between:
\registerunit[unit][division=div]
and
\registerunit[unit][division=division]
\setupunittext[division=div]
?

When you use your new unit "div” is printed because there is no label entry and context prints only the text as fallback.

Context looks for language dependent value of “division” and prints the value from the unittext entry, with this method you can also set different texts for different languages.

Thank you for these precisions.
Actually this feature interests me because I wondered how to translate certain
unit labels, like for example:
\unit{2 day} gives: "2 d" but I would like it to gives "2 j" in french.
So if I type this:
\setupunittext[day=j]
I get the correct translation but how can I tell Context that this is the
translation for 'french' only?

You can use the first optional argument for the language specifier, e.g.
\setupunittext[en][day=d]
\setupunittext[fr][day=j]
