Crossrefs don't seem to work properly.
There isn't one, only a partial workaround: manually add a line of \nocite[<crossref-ed entry>] in your source somewhere, and at least the module will typeset the cross-referenced item itself. I will reconsider fixing this, but it is one of the more annoying things to get right.
A hint to the solution for an expert could be the bbl file. Note that the order of the entries is turned around:
No, that is absolutely unrelated. The .bbl file in context is nothing else than a representation in TeX macros of the original .bib file(s).
(If ordered by author first, then year. Note also that in \language[de] "vol." should be "Bd." and "p." be "S.".)
Someone could create a bibl-aps-de.tex file, but I can not. It would just be a copy of bibl-aps.tex, but with german strings instead of english ones. You would still need to use an explicit language like \setuppublications[alternative=aps-de] though (because switching based on the current document language is not necessarily correct and is therefore unsupported).
Any ideas of what to do or hints where to find more info?
Rgiht here, on this list.

Additional question: what is the best way to generate the bbl file in the project directory? (I use "Central.bib" for all my documents).
Using
% texexec mainsetup
in the projects directory produces many unnecessary files (e.g. a dvi file) as it is only meant as a setup file.
You only have to generate the bbl file once, so that should not be a big burden. You could feasibly create a dummy file that is 4 or 5 lines long and has nothing but the \usemodule & \setupbibtex lines, run that, and rename the resulting bbl file.
However, proper bibliography processing is a "killer feature" for me -- I have virtually no document whithout references. (I wonder, what the direction of the ConText development here is; arguably, odd old BibTeX has reached an end of its history and support for more modern and complete, e.g. XML-based formats would be preferable (say, MODS) -- considering the seeminly nice XML support that is already there.)
Bibtex is a rather idiosyncratic and LaTeX-centric program, and it already takes some effort to make bibtex believe that ConTeXt is enough like LaTeX to make it work. I do not wish to spend much more time catering for the bizarreness that is bibtex than I already have. The next major release of the module (but don't expect a release anywhere this year) will indeed support MODS through citeproc: http://xbiblio.sourceforge.net/citeproc/ Cheers, Taco
