Have you said \mainlaguage[it] at the beginning of the document? It should switch the language of generated texts and hyphenation, too. I suppose Italian have some kind of modified cm fonts, so say also \setupbodyfont[your_national_font]. If the hyphenation is still wrong, it means that in your format file there are no hyphenation patterns for Italian. The easiest way to do it is probably to change cont-usr.tex (say 'kpsewhich cont-usr.tex' to find out where it is) and uncomment there the line \installlanguage [s!\it] [c!status=\v!start] and re-generate the formats (with fmtutil and/or texexec --make). This inserts Italian hyphenation patterns into all formats you create. D.A.
