What you are describing is “versioning” by use of language-dependent content on the K (black) plate, typically implemented in PDF by use of layers in both your original content as well as in your generated PDF. The first pass you print CMY only. The second pass you print K-only for both the common layer (always on) and the particular version or edition you want, in your example that being based on language. This is a fairly common print practice. However, it requires extreme discipline in the layout of your source document.
