I reckon if excluding some languages will simplify things, go ahead and just do so. When people complain about any of the missing languages, we’ll say to them: ‘great, now it’s time for you to get involved with us on figuring this out’.
I.e., make it as simple as possible and exclude any problematic languages for the moment, better to get something completed partly than nothing at all.
