\language
Summary
The instances of \language are used to switch the current language.
Description
The instances of \language are used to switch the current language.
The language instances are produced by ConTeXt directly by converting the first argument of \installlanguage into a control sequence.
Those control sequences are often quite short (like e.g. \en) so they are likely to have become accidentally redefined, and for some arguments of \installlanguage it is not possible to access the name directly anyway because there is a hyphen included (like e.g. \installlanguage[en-us]).
Because of those limitations, it is generally better to use the \language command instead of directly accessing a language switching control sequence.
Examples
