I am pretty sure the Kindle can recognize the granularity, at least with the dictionary, so there should be no problem here too.
Thanks for the link with Calibre Manual, it's really useful and I saved it here on my browse favorites! Unfortunately, I cannot find what I'm looking for (I'll try to explain it more clearly below) in this manual. I'll wait for a while to see if someone can help me in this post. If not, I will open a new post in the proper forum (Calibre forum).

Since it wont be possible to change Vocabulary Builder behavior, I'll try to change the "personal document" in order for it to work properly with Vocabulary Builder. I have some ideas in mind in order to make this happen, but I don't know how to put them in practice. I will list below, in order of preference, what I'm thinking to do in order to fix this problem.

1. First Option: Changing the "language tab" of each source of my RSS/Feed automatically created and sent to my Kindle by Calibre. Explaining: Each day I receive one Personal Doc from Calibre including the last news from sources in four languages (for instance, Le Monde => French; Agência Brasileira de Comunicação => Portuguese; ESGlobal => Spanish; Project Syndicate => English). The problem is that Calibre, when he create this document and send it automatically to my Kindle e-mail, that document (.mobi) is created as a Portuguese document, making me unable to use Vocabulary Builder with words in different languages (as Tomsem has explained). So, to fix this problem, I would like to know if there is a way of editing the advanced settings of the "news recipe" (as Calibre name it) in order to each source of the recipe has the correct language tab associated to it. Here is how "advanced settings" of the "recipe" looks like.

2. Second Option: If the above option isn't possible to do, I may set Calibre to create 4 different "Feed/RSS Personal Documents", one for each language. My doubt in this case is how to make Calibe automatically set the correct language for each document. When editing the "news recipe" that I have created in Calibre, I cannot find any option to change the to-be-created "news recipe/personal document" language.
It is not an alternative to change it manually, since I would have to do it in 4 different documents and in a daily basis. And it would simply dis-characterize this great Calibre feature that allow us to receive automatically and daily on our Kindle every RSS we want to.
