It is certainly the case. However, the new tools begin to change this
situation. For example, at Wikidata items one can add a translation into
any language quickly and conveniently.
The commercial websites also get the different language versions, since
it can be implemented now easily and robustly. For example, the website
of Uber is available in any language of a region where this enterprise
operates.
Let alone smartphones. One can nowadays have her/his smartphone in any
language. And it was not the case still in 90s.
The translation is becoming the true international language.

The international language would be English. It is after all the
language of trade and as a consequence absorbed many words from other
languages.
