It betrays a slow-witted mentality to pursue the streams, but not to see the

Wolfgang (and list),
The above code works fine with simple texts, but is not movable. Adding
a footnote, as in the following, to the text section shows that:
\starttext
\startTranslation[language=en]
It betrays a slow-witted mentality to pursue the streams, but not to
see the sources of things.%
\footnote{%
\startTranslation[language=la]
Tardi ingeni est rivulos consectari, fontes rerum non videre.
\stopTranslation%
}
\stopTranslation
\stoptext
or even by:
\starttext
It betrays a slow-witted mentality to pursue the streams, but not to
see the sources of things.%
\footnote{%
\startTranslation[language=la]
Tardi ingeni est rivulos consectari, fontes rerum non videre.
\stopTranslation%
}
\stoptext
In LaTeX, this might be dealt with by a combination robust command
definitions and \protected. When I wrote an endnotes routine in LaTeX, I
used those and wrote the notes to a file which was then read back in at
the appropriate time, but that does not help with pagenotes.
I imagine that at the time the footnote is processed the
Translationsetups and Translationlanguage macros are no longer defined,
and I have no idea how one would reference the buffer contents, although
it does look like they have stable names in the log file.
Can this be made movable?
Also, am I correct that the \iffirstargument test in the definition of
dostarttranslation is redundant? My understanding is that \dosingleempty
assures the presence of [#1].
