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.

In another context I thought about the possibility for links in foreign languages as long as they are marked, and maybe summarized by a sentence to help people get the context. I think in todays time with browser being able to translate, that should be a feasible approach. I didn't find time to debate that with the other mods, yet.

To me, coming from a moderation perspective, the idea of whole discussions in a plentitude of languages is problematic. In my opinion, we would need to have more mods being able to at least police content if need be.

Allowing link to websites in any language, accompanied by a quick explanation in english, seems like a good option IMO. (And I say this as a non-native english speaker)
