Sure, say: 

  \mainlanguage[de]

and the job is done. Thanks to Tobias Burnus (de) many other languages
are supported. 

BTW, \language[de] only switches the hyphenation language. 

You can automatically achieve this by adding \mainlanguage[de] to the
file cont-sys.tex in the context path (or whatever path tex searches)
and, just like \setupoutput[dvips] or \setupoutput[pdftex] or
\setupcolors[state=start] etc etc.

We are working on that. Once you know how thinks work, you can try to
use the qrc documents; they tell you all key/value's . Furthermore,
simply ask,
