Thanks Taco. This does the job. All I need now is a version (\Monthshort
??) which puts the first
letter in uppercase, Jan , Feb, etc.

\startluacode
function Monthshort(m)

Indeed, I've already seen that: when setting the locale to fr_FR.utf8,
without resetting it to C just after the tex.print(), then I get this
error:
!luaTeX error (file

why not completely remove locatel then ... probably also faster
There would certainly be many reasons to do so ... if anything,
because ConTeXt has its own “localization” system.
btw, nilling the locale is done in mkiv:
os.setlocale(nil,nil) -- useless feature and even dangerous in
