Because it's aptitude based. You may not have the aptitude for languages.

Read back and understand that joining in ANY role, officer or airman, requires you to show motivation and commitment and the capacity to take responsibility.

Hi

Because the entry requirements on the role page are what is required to submit an application. There's several more stages than just applying.

Aptitude test, interview, medical, fitness test, specialist interview (including more aptitude tests) a further fitness test. All of which you have to pass before you start phase one training, let alone training for the role itself.

I'd advise having a good think about what the armed forces do, what the role you're interested in actually does (it's not an 'interpreter' role first and foremost), and whether you want to be part of that.

Kind regards
