IIRC language was part of the rating, right? This would

language.

Isn't that a good thing? If an article is in poor English, the
English should be improved. But even in a conventional review
process a reviewer can suggest improvements to the language, and if
this is likely to be a common issue for us we could always ask
reviewers to pay special attention to this aspect and request that
they offer help if possible.

Indeed, this is a good thing, but then we should put language out of 
rating.

Ciao,
