My vote goes to the “Org Too Big, Nobody Cares” explanation.

Or, perhaps, just the blissful America-centric ignorance about how there are regions in the world with multiple official languages.

Haven't checked this recently, but a while ago Google Maps was still serving street names in a random language (the first name in alphabetical ordering), for streets which have names in multiple languages.
