I would run one main installation of the message board on a powerful server (quad xeon, or similiar). Serve all languages from that same install.
Put your database on another similar server connected through a second nic card.
If you will offer search, split the indexing onto yet a third server.
Be ready to do hardware load balancing or to setup clusters if you need more servers.
Geographical location is trivial compared to just about everything else.
