What I have just tried might be rather ugly and unorthodox, but it achieves what I want. As you can see from below, after the final chapter I simply created a 'subject' without giving it a title as such. I realised I needed the [location=here] to place it below the last item in the TOC.
So I have what I want, in the end, but am I missing something that is obvious to others but not to me when you say 'Is there something stopping you just outputting the line of text after the TOC?' Since the TOC is created automatically from heads like chapter, section etc., I don't know (other than the solution I came up with below) how to 'just output a line of text after the TOC'. I suppose I was imagining a \writeafterlist command or something like that🙂
Thanks for you help Duncan, since at least it made me look to the end of the document rather than the beginning of it, as I had been doing.

\stopchapter
\startsubject[title={}]
\writebetweenlist[section][location=here]{\blank[2*big] Note: All translations throughout the book are my own.}
\stopsubject
\stopbodymatter
\stopdocument
You need to write to a list at the end of your document if you want what you are writing to appear at the end of the list.
Is there something stopping you just outputting the line of text after the TOC? Do you need it to appear as if it was part of the TOC?

___________________________________________________________________________________I am struggling with something that might be simple enough, but...
The author is insisting that on the TOC page, after all the chapters and their page numbers, I need to add the line (obviously without any page number associated with it): 'All translations are by the author'.
I have trie various combinations of \writetolist and \writebetweenlist, and I can get his comment at the beginning of the TOC, but I cannot get it at the end, and perhaps with some vertical space separation from the main list. How can I place it at the end?
Here is my simple MWE where at least I can get it at the beginning:
\starttochead[title={Contents}]
\setcounter [userpage] [7]
\setupheader[state=stop]
\placecombinedlist[content]
\writebetweenlist[chapter]{All translations are by the author!}
\stoptochead
