The wording of the policy is ambigous, and many believe that
foreign-language sources are not allowed.

I'm pretty sure there isn't any such requirement. Now if it's a subject
on which tons of information *is* available in English, gratuitously
referencing non-English material is frowned on, but on more obscure
subjects non-English references are perfectly fine. I've written dozens
of articles myself that reference non-English books and encyclopedias,
and nobody's ever complained about that, so I'd be surprised if it were
against some sort of policy.
