5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Thanks for the link I was not aware of it and will read it.
My main concern is that I’ll miss out on what’s happening as everyone will be speaking a different language. So I will not know what the dm is talking about or what choices the other characters have made.
You should try to play with other people who speak your language, so the DM and other players can describe the world & their actions in your language, using English only for the technical rules.
For example, if your language was French, you could have the following interaction:
I'm using French just because it's the only other language I can write in, but the same idea could work for any language. Keep technical terms in English but mostly speak your language.
The trick is to find a group—or set up the group yourself, out of your friends!—of people you can play with IRL, not a random group of English-speaking strangers online.
