If there is country specific information about a tag then I would like
to be aware of it, as it could be useful for other countries/languages too.
And if I open a DE:feature I would like to be presentet with the
information relevant to my country in the first place.
If I open DE:bicycle_something then I don't want to be presented with
various signs that are used in the US, South Africa, Japan or Mexico. I
want to see the sign that I saw on the ground in Germany and then how to
tag it.
So I want to see these signs:

And not these:
http://www.trafficsign.us/bikesign.html
If you want country relevant information on every translation then you
do have to look though a dozen different signs 99.99% of the people
reading that page are never goingto use. And those are sign that are
easy to spot. Now make that text...
That could be as simple as copying it to the English language page (marking it
as requiring translation) or if it's longer providing a link on the English
language page.
You are still going to present me with a lot of information that is not
usefull for my country. And it will get worse once you try to translate
non-English pages back. From German to Englisch you are then going to
get funny stuff like [PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE evangelical with evangelical!!!]
