Same for me.

I had asked similar questions a few months ago. Seems there is still
quite much work to do to really support french in ConTeXt. What I do not
understand is why French seems to be among the rare european languages
not supported.

For now, Denis Roegel has made a sketchy support file for latin1 (IIRC).
Translation of commands and french typography are not yet done, I think.
Once again, I do not really know why.

Yes, I know this is possible. Some demos from Hans show this feature
(and many other). But I do not know in detail how to achieve this.

It would really be useful for us, frenchies wanting to really use
ConTeXt. Maybe frenchb from babel should be used as a starting point ?
I'd like to help, but I do not know how at all.
