Unlikely. Many european gamers from various countries game exclusively in english, since that is the original language for almost all games. Heck, the most famous game streamer is a Swede and all of his content is in (horribly squeaky) english.

this would explain why there are only submissions in english. But not why those submissions are blocked in other countries.
