I would imagine it is natural for any community which is starting from scratch to organically expand on moderation and ops. Thus naturally the community would start with the smaller set of languages/locales that the original staff is most comfortable with and add more staff, well versed in other languages, over a period of time. For the time, the community is picking up initially and does not have enough moderation humanpower, it would want to restrict itself with respect to languages/locales/charsets.
