The short version
Amical is the right starting point if working in a language you do not speak is your job and the published terms suit you. If you need a different platform mix (iOS, Android), a lower entry price, or an open licence you can self-host, start with Omi or Meetily. Every claim behind those statements is on the individual pages, with its source and check date.
