I think that depends on whether you are using the Internet or face to face methods to recruit.
Either way, your main focus is to try to find serious SFI affiliates, and they are less than 5% of sign ups for most of us. As far as I know, this average is across the board and doesn't really vary by country or language, so when you find an active, eager affiliate I would nurture them with every bit of experience and skill that you have, regardless of language! If they want to succeed there are translation tools and other ways you can use to help and encourage them and there are many good answers here already that can help.
If you are using face to face methods to recruit then unless you are already in a cross cultural situation yourself then most of your prospects are likely to be English speaking or will speak your own language if you don't speak English as your first language. In other words you will have a natural affinity with them which will make it easier!
If you are using Internet based methods, for example your own website or blog, or SFI tools like s-builder co-op or PSAs to go, then you will have no control over who signs up into your team, but again, if you find a worker, work with them regardless of language!
As for whether you should concentrate on trying to recruit non-English speakers/readers or not I think that is up to you. It can take more time and effort to work with someone from a different culture and language but as I said before if they are a keen worker they will be worth the extra effort!
I hope that helps in your decision!
All the best success to you!
