I would like to put in a vote for English as main language as well. However I have to agree with Nrchy, there are a lot of audiophiles (in particular older ones, no offense please) that might not be able to converse very well in English.
Also some markets, e.g. Germany, Austria, have already several forums in their native language (TNT for Reviews in Italian, http://www.highendmarkt.de/ and www.ebay.de for used products in Germany, http://www.hifi-forum.de/ for an audioasylum like forum in Germany). However I have not found any that are as good and or as popular as Audiogon here.
To my knowledge there's no european wide forum yet which crosses borders. However something like that might have to be in English to bring all people together under one roof. For now an adjunct site should be good enough.
If you consider different languages, the minimum would be German, French, Italian, Spanish. Quite an undertaking you are planning here. Maybe just the possibility of translation is good enough.
As with respect to shipping and the used market, a division into countries would certainly be useful.

Otherwise: Good Luck!!
