One thing that pre-trained word2vec and GloVe have going for them (and which is incorporated in ConceptNet Numberbatch) is that they're trained on broader corpora, Google News and the Common Crawl respectively. Of course that's what limits them to English, if you're not willing to use a knowledge graph to align things across languages.
Training on just Wikipedia is not a representative model of any language, because not all text is written like an encyclopedia.
