\sf is Sans Serif (latex)
[\rm roman, \tt typewriter, \sl slanted, \emph empasized, \it italic
\bf
boldface; see "a not so short intro to latex" for example]
\ss is plain tex's font command for sans serif, and works with
context. I do not know why latex chose \sf (sffamily, textsf) instead
of ss.
You are wrong, \ss is in plain TeX the command to produce the german
ß.
There has never been a predefined command to swith to a sans serif
font
like
the corresponding switches for bold and italic.
So, is there any command for that?. How can I get \sf in latex in
context?
In ConTeXt, \ss switches to sans serif. What Wolfgang meant (IIUC) was
that there is no command in plain tex to switch to sans serif.

Okay. Clarified.
But it does not appear in this wiki page. Maybe you could update it
For the other hand, can you inform me how to translate context interface
in catalan and spanish language?. Is there any .po file? I don't know
how context works in this aspect.
And another question: is there a "context planet"? Funny if I could see
the comments about developers and context users.
Thanks,
Xan.
Hi Xan,

you should look at the header in the 3rd column.
