I can't answer your question about the FAA, but from the information
below, it seems that English proficiency may be a non-issue.
Apparently the FAA is recommending a check with the destination
country to see if the new certificate will be required:

I'm thinking it will be like the silly radio station/operator
licenses. The officials in Mexico have never heard of such a think and
therefore I've never bothered to get either. The officials in Canada
know what it is but they also know that American pilots don't have
them so they've never given me any problems about it.


I've had a radio operators certificate since 1970.

Have you any idea of who it would be appropriate to contact in Mexico?
Perhaps AOPA could provide some contact information for you.
