What means international? Is it for all countries or just few
countries?

Maybe interpretation is too narrow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers

Order the table by the number of first language speakers.

Look at the number one language spoken in the world, which is which?
Chinese. 1.12 billion speakers! It is definitely international
language by definition.

Spanish is second language by first language speakers. It is
international.

Then comes English, Hindi, Portuguese.
