Probably something with your font/alignment switching.
Yes, probably, but this switching is necessary, look at your example: It
gives wrong aligning of the arabic letters (left to right instead of
right to left), so at some point one has to inject a \setupalign[r2l],
but all my tries only gave this one as a correct result:
\define[2]\InterlinearText
{\setupalign[r2l]\definedfont[file:arial*arabic at 16 pt]
\ruby{{\setupalign[r2l]#1}}{\setupalign[l2r]\definedfont[name:arial at
10pt]#2}}
But that as mentioned looses all other databse entries except the first.
Some hints where to make the r2l-switch with getting the same result?
There is no command which changes the order of words in a sentence
but this should be easy with a short Lua function.
Thank you, if some day one is available, I will use it. Or wil learn
Lua, right, should be a very basic function to implement.

Before you write your own commands try to use what is available.
Right, but in many cases I am just not aware of what is available, to
be honest, though I quite often use the wikigarden.
I tried to change your example into arabic-german, seems to work,
except only the first translation-pair is shown (see attachment). Why?
\usemodule [database]
\startbuffer[sample]
"قال","sagte (Es)"
"رسول","Gesandte (der)"
"الله","Gottes"
\stopbuffer
\define[2]\InterlinearText
{\setupalign[r2l]\definedfont[file:arial*arabic at 16 pt]
\ruby{{\setupalign[r2l]#1}}{\setupalign[l2r]\definedfont[name:arial
at 10pt]#2}}
\definedatabase
[interlineartext]
[quotechar={"},
command=\InterlinearText]
\setupinterlinespace[line=8ex]
\setupruby[voffset=-3ex]
\starttext
\definedfont[file:arial*arabic at 16 pt]
\processdatabasebuffer[interlineartext][sample]
\stoptext
Probably something with your font/alignment switching.
\usemodule [database]
\startbuffer[sample]
"قال","sagte (Es)"
"رسول","Gesandte (der)"
"الله","Gottes"
\stopbuffer
\define[2]\InterlinearText
{\ruby{#1}{#2} }
% \defineruby
% [interlineartext]
% [style=]
%
% \define[2]\InterlinearText
% {\ruby[interlineartext]{#1}{#2} }
\definedatabase
[interlineartext]
[quotechar={"},
command=\InterlinearText]
\setupinterlinespace[line=8ex]
\definefontfamily [arial] [ss] [Arial] [features=arabic]
\setupbodyfont [arial,16pt]
\starttext
\processdatabasebuffer[interlineartext][sample]
\stoptext
And second: Of course it would be best readable, if one could write
instead
\startbuffer[sample]
"قال","(Es) sagte"
\stopbuffer
but with same output, s.t. the order of the words in the second
database-element is inverted. Is that possible?
There is no command which changes the order of words in a sentence
but this should be easy with a short Lua function.
