From my point of view, Org macros are not designed for plain text
arguments. Comma as argument separator is a painful pitfall. It is too
easy to lost some text. Some workarounds were discussed in
Maxim Nikulin. Re: [PATCH] Possibility of using alternative separators
in macros. Wed, 12 May 2021 18:49:25 +0700.

$_ as rest arguments including commas may alleviate the issue. Inline
special "blocks" would be more promising however.
In addition, I think, it should not be a macro per language, it is
better to use single macro with language as first argument. In the case
of babel it can be directly mapped to \foreignlanguage{}{}.
In simple cases export backend may insert commands when character script
is changed.
