Hi,
Sounds like a job for the blocks mechanism more so than buffers:
\defineblock[entext]
\defineblock[nltext]
\defineselector [language] [max=2,n=1]
\startmode[en]
\setupselector[language][n=1]
\keepblocks[entext]
\stopmode
\startmode[nl]
\setupselector[language][n=2]
\keepblocks[nltext]
\stopmode
\starttext
\startsection[title=\select{language}{English title}{Dutch title}]
\beginentext
This is English text.
\endentext
\beginnltext
This is Dutch text.
\endnltext
\stopsection
\stoptext
Best wishes,
Taco
