It is true that the ilita.i2p userbase is mostly Russian but anyone that uses I2P needs to understand a bit of russian anyways.
What I2P needs is a Matrix instance, I remember someone hosting it a few months before but it's not up anymore.
If you're having connectivity issues with i2pd you can set the connection length to 1 or 2.
