Because they're not stupid? They target different language groups
with proslytisers of the same language. I used to live in a Portugese
neigbourhood and always got the Portugese speaking door knockers.
When living in Quebec I used to get the English speaking door
knocker.

It also means less junk to cart around as you only need the Watch
Tower in one language.

It seems possible to find JW's of any nationality. I once worked with
a Irish JW. Nice guy too.
