one solution that appeals to me (and which i have myself used in online spaces where i don't speak the language) is to write in a language you can speak and let people translate it themselves however they wish

i don't think it is likely to catch on, though, outside of culturally multilingual environments

It can if the platform has built in translation with an appropriate disclosure! for instance on Twitter or Mastodon.
