What language do they use for international air traffic control?

Asked by Mamradpivo (9665points) August 15th, 2009 from iPhone

For example, if a pilot is flying from Moscow to Rio de Janeiro, does he have to speak both Russian and Portugese? What about the languages for all the countries in between whose airspace he’s flying through? Do they all just learn English?
