It's quite possible, and wouldn't necessarily be too difficult; it
just hasn't been done yet.
We pretty much just need a secret set of non-offensive recognizable
words in the language which are comprised only of characters in the
font that we're using (and the font could be changed easily enough).
... but I think it would be better to use random character captchas,
and automatically extract acceptable characters using the top 20
characters used in articles titles, perhaps with a manually adjusted
confusing character exception list. There would need to be some code
so you could ask for a language-foo captcha while on langauge-bar
Wikipedia.
