I agree, it's a little tricky to use a Chinese language-only site when, like me, you are not able to read Chinese. I admit, it's completely my fault that I'm not multilingual, but there are many like me and it is a barrier for both sides.
Also, even if I could navigate my way around the site, would the users of these app markets want their results filled with non-translated English apps? I've had a number of people email me offering to translate my app and put it on their markets, but unfortunately they only point me to their non-English site and I can't make head nor tail of it. I usually just avoid replying because I can't tell if what they are offering is legitimate. My suggestion to anyone wanting to successfully offer international app markets, app translations, and improve the global market for Android in general: Build an multi-language site explaining what you do, and advertise it prominently in your email correspondence. I'd be happy to help out in some small way (proof reading the English translations, etc), but I think significant effort will be required to make this a success.
