I mean hell, in my intra-Asia flights on Air Asia, ANA and Cathay, they could speak three languages - The home language, destination language and English!
Hell, on my ANA flight, we even got a printed menu to look at.
I have had multiple FAs in business class on ANA Japan-China flights who had a very dubious command of English and did not speak Chinese at all.
