A solution like can be easy integrated in a ruby command because
you need only a command parameter for the ruby text,
e.g. \setupruby[command=\pinyin] but you're looking for something
like the translate module.

If you can provide such a list Hans can add the information to char- 
def.lua,
for the moment you have to rely on my \pinyin command, I have now  
written
a new version on a word macro I found.
