It makes no sense to set values for columnset but use regular columns in
your document
and the correct value for direction you want is 'left' not 'right'.
\starttext
% columnset
\definecolumnset[arabic][n=2,direction=left]
\startcolumnset[arabic]
Oeps. In Arabic the 'first' column is on the right:\par\column\input knuth
\stopcolumnset
\page
% columns
\startcolumns[direction=left]
Oeps. In Arabic the 'first' column is on the right:\par\column\input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
