Hi all,

recently, in the ConTeXt list someone asked how to install Esperanto.

I wanted to advise him, so I tried to do it on my computer and I came across the following problem:

According to the wiki documentation (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuplanguage), I should use "pattern=file" but neither file with full pathname, nor without works in the testing code below (TL2020). The only one way how to setup it is to use a language code.

Did I anything wrong, or is it only misdocumented on wiki? Or a feature not implemented yet?

Looking at the ConTeXt source, I guess “file” is misleading here. It seems context always searches for lang-XX.lua, where the XX part is what you specify as value to the “patterns” argument. I’ll make a note in the wiki page. Taco
