You might be able to make the same argument for opening a thread for many other languages in the 'other languages' sub, and allowing for two (or more) threads per language would only clutter that sub in a confusing way. I think it is unlikely you will be banned for opening a single duplicate thread, however i think there is a good chance it would get removed.
I don't think the "clutter" is so bad:
Other languages/locations still shows topics that were last active in April. The entire board isn't very active, and the main threads are pinned already.
