\enableregime is not enough. You need to setup font encoding and 
appropriate bodyfont. For these see type-enc, type-pre and such.

Example for cyrillic:

\enableregime [utf]
\setupencoding [default=t2a]
\usetypescript [modern-base] [\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont [modern]

\starttext
Тест.
\stoptext
