Ooooh yes. Language. We know for sure that Durmstrang at least has to take students from several different nations, because of those fur-lined cloaks, which are a required part of the uniform. Given that Bulgaria, the homeland of the only named, current Durmstrang student we know, borders on Turkey and Greece, a fur-lined cloak sounds a bit in excess of probable requirements. The school sounds more likely to at least be on the Baltic ocean, and possibly more north than that. It's also an indication that if there is a division between its catchment area and Beaubatons' it is likely to be between west and east rather than north and south.
But in fact there is probably no official catchment area for either school, and both take students from wherever they can get them.
Of course there seem to be translation spells, but I'd hate to base my education on one.
