[NTG-context] Ctx Lua: determination of the language being used
Hello, how to determine the current language being used in Ctx source via Lua? I mean soumething like: --- \mainlanguage[cz] \starttext AAA \startluacode if context.mainlanguage == cz then -- Do something specific context(Ahoj!) elseif context.mainlanguage == en then -- Do something specific context(Hello!) else end \stopluacode \stoptext --- So is there something like 'context.mainlanguage' or 'context.mainlanguage()' or 'tex.mainlanguage' or ...?

No, nothing as complicated as that: \currentmainlanguage is an expandable macro, so it simply expands to its actual content: cs This also means that my proposed solution will not work if you put it in a separate lua file: you have to convert it to a lua function in that case that takes \currentmainlanguage as an argument.

it's not so hard to interface that but we need to pick up the current value
\ctxlua{tex.sprint(languages.numbers[1])}
however, tex does not privide access to the current language so i'd have
to introduce an extra counter at the tex end
anyhow, for the moment you can use
languages.numbers[tex.count.mainlanguagenumber]
which probably gives you wat you want: en
