ConTeXt uses labels dependent on the current mainlanguage, using the 
simple \language command has no effect on the label.

To change the labels for a single sentence you can put a group around 
the command and change the mainlanguage withing the group, i.e.

\start \mainlanguage[es]
\commalistsentence[...]
\stop
