It definitely doesn't seem to work here ... Just to clarify, the \cites[..] do appear with brackets, it's the list that doesn't have them. Using Here it works (in the list), the only problem is is the spacing, if the item has two digits, the number and the item touch ([22]R. F. ...).
Ok, I finally found the reason why it didn't work here: there was a \setuppublications[distance=20pt,sort=author] after the \setuppublications[numbercommand=\bracketed], and it nihiled the effect of the previous setuppublications. Changing the order fixed that. Isn't this a bug, though? Why is numbercommand being reset?

That's why I choose the bibl-XXX.tex files instead. Making a copy and editing that is quite easy, or so I thought. (the documentation should do a better job of explaining this, though). Patching a copy of bibl--xxx was the alternative way I suggested the guy with the problem. But I still think that at least the most common strings should be language-parametrized :)
While not objecting that words like 'and', 'ed.' and 'editor' could be put in m-bib, I think there are so many combinations that it is not feasible to add them all. Recently, I checked the bibstyle of the APS and while they had two basic styles (revtex4/apspr.bst and apsrmp.bst) there are several differences between all journals. bibl-aps.tex for instance only implements the version for PRL (thank you Taco, for adding it!).
In addition, one can not translate certain words that easily. English publishing houses make a difference between a new edition, minor corrections and a reprint while German 'Verlage' usually bump the 'Auf\/lage' (well not always for a reprint). There are more such differences which are listed e.g. in The Oxford Guide to Style, but which I don't remember.
I had no idea it was this complex, ok :) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
