There is just a problem if two URLs in two different languages are the same, for example in english and in french this URL will be the same :
/articles/python/indentation/
BTW, it happends too if you want to have a title in english and a content in french... that's why language identifiers (en/fr/it/...) are often necessary.

Right. I would go one step further. The REST philosophy says that the
URL is an important part of the user interface: it should be meaningful
and understandable.
If so, the whole URL needs to be expressed in the user language.
Therefore, if an English-speaking user sees the URL:
/articles/prog-langs/python/indentation-stroke-of-genius/
(no /display/ needed at the end)
an Italian-speaking one should see:
/articoli/linguaggi-programmazione/python/indentazione-colpo-di-genio/
While the two URLs are the same article expressed in two different
human languages, I think that the mere translation process makes the
two things different enough that it's not the same resource anymore, so
different URLs are warranted. Furthermore, each article translation may
have different comments, furthermore differentiating them.
