No it doesn't: you just told me to "choose a language". It's 2017, why would I choose a language when I can just use all the languages with XeLaTeX, using:
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Noto Sans}
and that solves that problem. I can write whatever I want, and stick in lang-specific context switches using \usepackage{ucharclasses} (for making sure macros are inserted for transitions to/from specific unicode blocks) only once I absolutely need them, and no earlier.

For examples Chapter, Section, TOC and everything that is autogenerated will be translated to a language. It has nothing to do with utf8. You can remove babel and Chinese, German, Swedish can work in the same file regardless. \usepackage{noto} What's hard about that?
