Au contraire
French is still the de facto language of international diplomacy, and English is the most widely-spoken language of commerce. It is therefore much more likely that one country would be best able to communicate with another country through either of these languages.

Consider the example of Hungarian and Japanese. Very few people would be expected to be able to speak both of these languages do it is highly likely that communication between these people would be in French or in English.

So it really is a case of "Alternative Vote"; which combination of languages will exclude te least number of people when second- and third- languages are included.

And any broadcaster will be providing their own translations (and probably will have pre-released copies of speeches, etc).
