No, I have no problems with the English speaking community myself, but I'm
lucky to be rather fluent in English. And I learn new words as I follow the
mailing lists :-).
On the other hand, I also follow lists in German and French, but I am very
reluctant to participate in those discussions, as my language skills are
not good enough for that.
So I imagine that this is the case for other people and English.

totally agree with that. But right now, you also see that proposals are
made in local communities that never make it to the general mailing list.
The Lübeck bicycle tagging scheme comes to mind.
and look at the wiki pages in German. I took a lot of historic or animal
related tagging from there, because there is no English page for those
topics.

Unfortunately I have no solution for this, I can only regret that
participation to the tagging mailing list is for some limited by language
knowledge.
