What would be the best way to counter the language barrier problem?

I recently got into a pretty rough couple of matches in which comms were strained by the lack of mutual understanding (on a language level, of course).

While this may not be a problem in the Americas, that actually kind of got me thinking about how one could combat this in the EMEA region. Apex has a pretty robust set of pings and calls, further expanded through in-game character banter, however, that really doesn't seem to be the solution for Valorant, where there already is a similar system in place (auto-calling enemies, spike and such).

With all the different languages in the EMEA region, do you think there really could be a "catch-all" solution? You can't force anybody to learn english, after all, neither can you force everybody to speak it over comms.

I wonder what's other people's takes on this could be.
