A great example is the Harry Potter books. Another example is Roger Zelazny. The US Kindle store sells English versions, French versions, Spanish versions and German versions. All available in the US and all with different publishers.
There is nothing about not applying geographic restrictions that prevents splitting publication rights by language.

Your example demonstrates part of the current problem, some US readers have expressed desire to read the British English version of e-books by British English authors.
