There were other non-english sites. Most have become inactive the last 5 years. The good designers tend to use CBC now, which do a good job organizing the contests for english readers and makes an effort to work with non-english readers.
Otto's Emperor(french) which mirrored its contests at CBC was the last one I monitored until last year. An occasional fan site challenge may have sprung up and died without the larger community knowing because of language barriers/etc.

The current CBC C3 event is a challenge with a nominal end date of 31 March, but likely to run on for longer than this. It is atypical of CBC contests in that discussion is permitted while the event runs. You are also free to look at and if you wish emulate the cities of others. It is a population challenge, and already a fed population of over 100,000 has been achieved for the first time in history.
Plans are afoot for a new C3 event which will be a handicap event. Stronger players will have less time to complete the mission than lesser players, hopefully resulting in a somewhat level playing field. Hoping to start this in the coming weeks.
