To set language dependent texts you can use the labeltext mechanism
which is used by ConTeXt to change the captions for floats etc.
Besides the default \labeltext and \setuplabeltext commands you can
create your own instance of the mechanism for your texts.
%%%% begin example
\definelabelclass [gerben]
\setupgerbentext [en] [phrase=English phrase]
\setupgerbentext [nl] [phrase=Nederlandse frase]
\setupgerbentext [fr] [phrase=Phrase français]
%\mainlanguage[nl]
%\mainlanguage[fr]
\starttext
\gerbentext{phrase}
\stoptext
%%%% end example
To change images you use multiple sub folders where each folder has
images which the same name. In ConTeXt you can use a mode to choose
which directory is used to load the image. Another method is to map the
file names of the images to symbolic names and use only the symbolic
names in your document.
%%%% begin example
\setupexternalfigures [location={local,global,default}]
\useexternalfigure [simple] [cow.pdf]
%\useexternalfigure [simple] [hacker.png]
\starttext
\externalfigure[simple]
\stoptext
%%%% end example
