BTW: It’s better to follow contexts rules and use start/stop for environments, this way you can make use of the buffer mechanism to store text.
\unexpanded\def\startTranslation
   {\begingroup
    \dosingleempty\dostartTranslation}
\def\dostartTranslation[#1]%
   {\iffirstargument
      \getrawparameters[Translation][setups=,language=en,#1]%
    \fi
    \grabbufferdata[Translation][startTranslation][stopTranslation]}
\def\stopTranslation
   {\language[\Translationlanguage]%
    \Translationsetups
    (\,\getbufferdata[Translation]\removeunwantedspaces\,)%
    \endgroup}
\starttext
\startTranslation[language=nl]
It betrays a slow-witted mentality to pursue the streams, but not to see the sources of things.
\stopTranslation
\stoptext
Thank you for the excellent example. The only problem I see is that it 
fails if no optional argument is present (in which case the keyval 
settings \TranslationXXX never get defined). This is easily remedied by 
removing the \iffirstargument and \fi wrapping the \getrawparameters.
