Using categories as multilingual mechanism

No, it doesn’t work that way. Taxonomy terms and posts are in a n:n relation: each term may be assigned to multiple posts and each post to multiple terms.

But you probably want to set just one main language per post – taxonomies are the wrong tool for that. Use post meta data or a multi-site plugin to assign a language to a post.
