It can also be done with buffers.

\definebuffer [entext]
\definebuffer [nltext]

\defineselector [language] [max=2,n=1]

\startmode[en]
     \setupselector[language][n=1]
     \def\stopentext{\getentext}
\stopmode

\startmode[nl]
     \setupselector[language][n=2]
     \def\stopnltext{\getnltext}
\stopmode

\starttext

\startsection[title=\select{language}{English title}{Dutch title}]

\startentext
     This is English text.
\stopentext
\startnltext
     This is Dutch text.
\stopnltext

\stopsection

\stoptext
