Splitting Europe by language again will only be a disadvantage. Depending on where you live in Europe, the lingua franca is either English or Russian, with maybe a bit of German and French in border regions.

I don't see the value add of an international forum with local languages. There's a great Dutch tech forum already (tweakers.net) visited almost exclusively by Dutch and Flemish people. Great for locals, but entirely impossible to join in on as a foreigner.

Also, you may be confusing Europe with the EU. The UK has almost 70 million people speaking English every day.
