context.usemodule({ "first" })

or

context.usemodule{ "first" }

It doesn't work or at least it does not what you expect, the examples in 
the manual pass strings ( "..." )
wherever text is expected while you pass a lua variable to the commands. 
Passing variables only work
when the variable itself refers to a string, e.g.

translate = "translate"
