Provide a *working* minimal example because when I run this example
\starttext
\rawdate[]
\stoptext
I get “march unknown, 2013” as output.
When I use now (instead of \currentlanguage you can also use a language tag, e.g. "nl")
\starttext
\ctxcommand{currentdate("month, ,day, , year","\currentlanguage")}
\stoptext
I get as output “March 20 2013”. The problem with \rawdate is that no language is passed
and context doesn’t convert the labels for the month/years and also the day results in
a default string, i.e. it produces the “unknown” string.
