Hallo!
\enableregime, \mainlanguage, \setupencoding are English commands; texexec is smart enough to detect this, and therefore uses the English interface;
Obviously this autodetectroutine is checking only the pr�ambel.
if you want to use the German one, use the German corresponding command: \hauptsprache instead of \mainlanguage. Or, as the first line of the file put:
That means, that the aktual setting in 'texexec.ini' is of no practical use, isn't it?
% interface=de
And than texexec forgets its smartness? The whole thing costs me a lot of time. I installed context with 'UserInterface de' without a real idea what it means. I didn't know if it brings me german messages or an german interface. Then I forgot this setting and used english statements. All worked well, until I wrote a little testfile, without pr�ambel, and tex complains about \chapter{}. It was very strange! May be, a warning message would be helpfull, say 'UserInterface doesn't match initial setting!' Wolfgang

WWL> And than texexec forgets its smartness? That's part of the texexec smartness :) There are other settings which can be put there. WWL> The whole thing costs me a lot of time.

I would forget about the german interface. Some translations are wrong or misspelled, a lot of other no good german. The english one (and the dutch) is much better (and you don't need to translate your code if something doesn't work and you'd like to ask on the list). If you like to get german messages, you must make your formats with "--response=de", that translates most messages of ConTeXt, but not of TeX. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
