Many suggestions on how to replace American products have a very local home in an EU country and are not available without problems or costs in other EU countries or the UK.
Why not also allow local tips in the local language? Europe is not a monophyletic block, but thrives on the diversity of cultures. Our communication here in the community can also express this.

Adding Italian. Our northern neighbors probably have fewer problems with English than their southern neighbors.

Adding some languages arbitrary without a clear guideline might open up discussions for other languages. For example: if we accept as a guideline that (Mandarin :-), English and Spanish are the most spoken languages in the wolrld and we accept that, we might unsettle French people. If we go with western/southern languages only we might loose the other people who turn for local serivces.

It is no easy debate to have.
