There’s nothing you can do. The language barrier isn’t the problem. You told them what to do and they understood, but didn’t follow instructions. You know why? Because most of those servers have players that are just bad at the game.

Share the Dungeon Journal entry. It will show theirs in whatever language thr client is operating with.
your problem wasn’t language barrier although that did make things harder.
your problem was that you where in a group that heard what you said but didn’t exactly listen to what you said.
do you understand? you can explain it but if they didn’t undertood the plan? then failure is bound to happen.
this can happen to any group it has nothing to do with the language barrier in this case, the language barrier made it harder.
but it is not to blame in this case.

If they don’t understand it after you explained, then this is most likely not a language problem but a comprehension problem. Though Google Translate is a very inaccurate translator, I remember my friends and I were playing around with Google Translate and wow, very inaccurate it thought we were saying inappropriate stuff. I’ve even been advised when learning a new language not to use Google Translate. So, it was probably a bit of a mixture of both, if not probably mostly comprehension.

If only it was 2023 and we could implement some sort of auto translate feature…
But no MMORGP to date has ever attempted something so foolish.
Not really an MMORPG but a few very popular Minecraft YouTubers are implementing a translator apparently. Well not to what you’re referring to as an mmorpg
Blizzard could just make its own language and force everyone who plays WoW to learn it.
Would there be classes for this or something? And besides, what about discord? Would they be forced to use the language?
Personally when you play a game thats social and sometimes you gota communicate you gota understand each other you gota speak the same language
Easy solution. Blacklist Ragnaros, Azralon and Quel’thalas.

Yes, Yes, and Yes. Saturday night classes at your local YMCA or Boys and Girls Club if those are still a thing.
Not invited anyone from Quel’thalas or Ragnaros.
Just check before inviting someone to your key. Mouse over the name and it will tell you what realm they’re from. I will say that the players from those realms have gotten better over the years, and I will group with them if I’m playing early as that’s usually the only people applying for keys-but I avoid them if I have the option. Old stigma.

You were polite. You tried to communicate with them as best as you could. They understood to your understanding. And they still messed up the mechanics.
At that point you all tried no hard feelings and move on. It happens. 
The correct response is dont invite quel’thalas/ragnaros/etc people. I know this sounds mean but, in my experience…you telll them to hero and they dont know what your saying , no hero goes off, or brez, etc…and you die or fail timer. So I rather avoid them.
Those servers have a bad rep for a reason.
The reality is most non US countries require their children to learn English, or at least basic English, in school. I know many South American countries do. It wouldn’t hurt to try and learn some basic phrases, but you can probably make do with really rudimentary communication efforts like marking a person and putting the same marker on the ground and jumping to indicate you want them to stand here or linking an ability from the dungeon journal and a spell from your own spellbook implying the counter for it.
None of this is practical to do in a mythic+ run though. The only real way to be reasonably sure is to make sure you are running with decently scored and geared people and you yourself not doing any stupid/wildly different strats. Honestly I’d rather run with a latin america decent mythic+ individual than I would a similarly scored player from many of the known donkeyhat realms like Tich, Illidan, Darkspear, etc.
I think that might be on the next president’s agenda, making English the world’s only language.<–bad joke not serious.
Everyone outside of United States speaks more than 2 languages. Yes there is communication issue in your scenario OP, but not from the party you expect.
And I am always a bit “angry” if people don´t take that chance. 
For me, learning languages is such a fun thing to do and while my english may never be as good as of a native, I spend 80% of my daily routines in that language by now.
A language I always wanted to master is japanese or chinese, but they are super tough at least for me. Traveling through Japan is so much fun. 
I’m staunchly the opposite. I’m your stereotypical uncultured swine of an 'merican who did the bare minimum to get through my highschool spanish courses and can count to 10 in spanish and say my name (helps it is the same as it is in English) and no hablo espanol. If I really tried, I can probably think of a few more words.
But to be perfectly honest, I have exactly 0 drive or desire to visit any foreign country either other than the now wishful thinking of getting the eff out of this horrid country and into somewhere more civilized offering a much better quality of life for a citizen even if it costs me a smidgen more in taxes.
