Dear list,

Inspired by this question on TeX.SX https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/367433

How can I get the translated names for chapter and section depending on the currently active language. I know they are there in lang-txt.lua, but cannot be accessed via \labeltext. One can access them through Lua but that doesn't seem so elegant.



\def\chaptername{%
\ctxlua{%
context(languages.data.labels.texts.chapter.labels["\currentlanguage"])}}

\starttext

\language[en] \chaptername

\language[de] \chaptername

\stoptext



Cheers,
Henri

The problem are the

    ["hidden"]=true,

table entries for these labels, removing them would make the labels accessable.

Perhaps Hans can remove these in beta.  I don't see a point in having these hidden.
The problem is that \chapter uses the chapter label if set (done in strc-def.mkiv) and enabling the hidden
labels means changing documented setups. You shouldn’t also forget that label output depends on
the main language (\language changes only hyphentation patterns and quotation marks).
