Right now, Ghost has pretty good (although not quite perfect - bug reports appreciated) support for single language i18n. If you want to run your whole blog in a language other than English, you can do that. It's possible that you'll need to contribute some translations, if your language's set of translations aren't complete. This doesn't require technical skill, just language fluency.

Out of the box (with a theme that supports it), you can have your whole Ghost site in one target language of your choice, including having newsletter emails and magic link emails in your single target language.

Big caveat: Official themes are not set up for translations, so if you're on the Ghost Pro starter plan, you won't have access to translations of your theme. 👉Read more about Ghost hosting options here. Tip: If you're thinking about hosting with Magic Pages, the Kyiv theme includes German, French, Spanish, and Ukrainian translations and is available on their Starter plan.

Where things get hairy is for sites that want to support multiple languages. For example, perhaps you write articles in both German and French (de and fr), and you want to localize parts of your site for each of those two languages. (OK, so that's bilingual, not multilingual, but the problems are the same for 3+ as for 2, basically.)
