Hi,

The date printed with the \date command is not correct in french (but ok in english). See this example :

 \mainlanguage[fr]  \starttext     \date  \stoptext

It prints "44 juillet 2011" (today). Without " \mainlanguage[fr]", it’s prints "July 4, 2011" (as expected).

I have "ConTeXt - 2011.06.29 09:57" and "LuaTeX-0.70.1". I've never seen this bug before but I don't know if the problem is recent or not.

It’s not a bug but a language dependent format of the string, you can change it with

 \setuplanguage[de][date={...}]

where the date key takes the same arguments as the \date command.

ok, but there is no the 44th day in July as "44 juillet 2011" said -- luigi

It’s not 44th, it’s 4 + 4th :) I tried some different dates and the number is indeed typed twice every time in french. I think this problem appears recently because it was not the case with "ConTeXt - 2011.05.18 22:26" "LuaTeX-0.70.1". I still think it’s a bug because it’s not expected to have the day number typed twice when one call \date (in "lang-def.mkiv", the date format is declared as "\c!date={\v!day+,\v!space,\v!month,\v!space,\v!year" for french).

core-con.lua:

function commands.currentdate(str,currentlanguage) -- j and jj obsolete ... if ordinal and whatordinal then -- commands.ordinal(whatordinal,currentlanguage) context("%s",converters.ordinal(whatordinal,currentlanguage)) end end end I checked my "core-con.lua" file and there is not the context("%s", ...) command in the currentdate function.

Am I missing something ? -- Romain Diss
