I'd compare it more to Shanghai with Vocaloid : China, only with fan funding involved.

As for the bilingual part, the following paragraph to the one I quoted above stated that more funding = more potential language banks. I would suspect the reverse plays to that; if the 1st Vocaloid does not get enough funding then they'll only produce the French bank.
