Lukáš Procházka mailto:LPr@pontex.cz 31. Dezember 2015 um 11:07 Hello,

how to detect which language set by \mainlanguage[xy] is active? How to detect it by a) ConTeXt and b) Lua?

Something like:

\mainlanguage[cz]

\ifmainlanguage{cz} Do someting \fi

and

if context.languages.active() == "cz" then -- Do somthing end

You can use the modes mechanism for this because you can use **<TAG> to check for the main language (set by \mainlanguage) and *<TAG> for the current language (set by \language).

\mainlanguage[cs] %\language[en]

\starttext

\doifelsemode{**cs}{The main language is Czech.}{The main language is “\currentmainlanguage”.}

\startluacode if tex.modes["**cs"] then context("The main language is Czech.") else context("The main language is “\currentmainlanguage”.") end \stopluacode

\blank

\doifelsemode{*cs}{The current language is Czech.}{The current language is “\currentlanguage”.}

\startluacode if tex.modes["*cs"] then context("The current language is Czech.") else context("The current language is “\currentlanguage”.") end \stopluacode

\stoptext
