The answer

It is permissible for the preacher to deliver the sermon in a language other than Arabic if the attendees do not understand Arabic, in order to achieve benefit. It is not a condition that one preacher deliver both Friday sermons; it is permissible for one person to deliver the first and another to deliver the second. However, it is preferable, especially if this situation will be recurring, that one preacher deliver the sermon in the language of the majority of the mosque attendees, and then a translator translates the sermon into the other language after the prayer.
