It's true that www.vatican.va provides a Latin user interface, but a site presenting English law is going to have an English interface only, even though the older laws are in Latin or Old Norman French. *Nobody* needs an Old Norman French user interface. Similarly, gutenberg.org provides only an English interface, even though it provides e-books in 55 languages, from 37527 in English and 2356 in French down to 21 languages with a single book each.

The only requirement in Gemini imposed on the query string is that the URL sent after a 10 or 11 response contains whatever the user entered as the query string. There is nothing to prevent link lines from containing query strings themselves. In the Gemini PG interface I plan to write as soon as I have a chance, the UI will be entirely in English, the only language I speak. When you are searching, you can include words in the query like "lang:en" or "media:text/plain" or "author:Twain", as well as plain words in any script, more or less like Google Search.
