Before you start worrying about memory, do you have any proof at all that memory is a problem? Are you expecting to have a lot of documents in your index (as in multiple tens of millions)?
If you try to put multiple languages in a single field, the results will be problematic for some set documents/queries, especially if you're mixing widely disparate languages (think English and Chinese for instance). I'd try the field per language option just to see if you need to go to a more complex solution. There is no penalty for empty fields in documents, so don't worry about that.
