[NTG-context] How to get default Dutch language Context in TeXShop on Macos X

[Robert Kroon]

Hi,

Recently I've installed Gerben Wierda's teTeX distributon incl. ConTeXt
on my iMac (Macos X, 10.3.6). Now I'm trying to learn ConTeXt. I'm
marking up my documents in TeXShop, version 1.34.
I can typeset small ConTeXt documents and generate PDF-files as long as
the type setting commands are in English. However, I would like to use
Dutch type setting commands like:

\starttekst
Dit is een test
\stoptekst

When I typeset this file from within TexShop I get following output and
errors

 TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004

            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-nl

             interface : nl

Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-nl.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt

I can't find the format file `context.fmt'!

First my interface was en (english). As can been seen in the listing my
interface language is now nl . I changed this under my root account with
the command texexec --make nl en

My Texexec --verbose output under my user account is:

<end terminal output>

I believe that I'm doing things terrible wrong and I'm not that much
used to use the terminal  (as root, administrator or user) in Macos X.

Any tips how I can get my Dutch typesetting command from within TeXShop?
Many thanks in advance.

Robert
