Maybe it could be useful to add an input to the existing sign-up form that allows a user to select their default language at the time they sign up. That way, when they first log in they will see the forum in a language they understand. This could be made as a plugin. There could also be a banner that appears for non-logged-in users. It could be in all your forum’s languages and guide speakers of each language through the log-in process.
