I’ll repeat my suggestion that posts be able to have language tags (i.e. one tag that says “English”, “Español”, “Français”, etc., automatically set to English for currently existing posts), and that there be an option under Preferences to filter posts by language (probably defaulting to English and, if applicable, the language of the region the user is connected from).
Huh, did I really use the word “posts”? I meant top-level posts, not comments.
Here’s my analogous rhetorical question: why would Wikipedia want to spread its effort among multiple different languages rather than concentrating it on a single language?
I feel there’s some problem with the Wikipedia comparison, but am currently unable to formulate any satisfactory response. I’ll think about it; if I don’t get back to you, consider the point conceded.

ETA: By “posts”, I mean articles, not comments.
Why would we want to fragment the discussion to multiple different languages?

Top-level posts is what I assumed you meant.
