Tags are metadata, used to describe the *image*, and which can also be written 
to (exported) images.
Adding additional information to tags can then cause several issues (or the 
information is lost when you export an image to outside of digikam, e.g. when 
uploading to social media):
 - the size of the metadata can grow fast (not impossible to have 10-15 tags, 
especially when using a tag hierarchy (animal->mammal->feline->lion), leading 
to larger files
- when you have personal information linked to a tag, you get privacy problems 
(Mary might not like having her address, birthday or phone number plastered 
over the internet)
- The information you propose to add is not descriptive of the image, but of 
the metadata item (meta-metadata?).

@Gilles: I thought multilingual descriptions and titles were already possible? 
(the "x-default" drop list next to the edit field).
