Would flags be appropriate/inappropriate? Anything I should be aware of if I try to do that? Are there any other decent ways to do signify language visually?
Flags are political, and they don't map languages well, as another listmember said. The language belongs to the people who speak it, not to a geographic political entity. However, actually representing language in an icon is a challenging task ... how about a speech bubble, as suggested, with each language's word for "torrent" or whatever word you thought represented your project best?
That way people would see the way the language looks, which I personally find fascinating. :)
I hope this is useful.
