> How do you understand something like 'withdraw, with conversion' or 'withdraw, let your bank handle the conversion', without language? Is there an obvious image or button shape that'd signify this without prior knowledge?

Let's say you're in Europe and and have a card in dollars:

[] 1000€

[] 1000€ (1€/1.2$ -> 1200$)

And then it starts asking about card type, and which account, and... Just gimme the money!

But they’re usually designed in such a way that it’s impossible to hit a wall, and worst case you pay a $5 fee.

Right. Because you have numbers written in a common language, you can work out what your buttons did. Without that you wouldn't realise until you actually were hit with the conversion fee on one side or the other. If you changed the language and the numbers were written in Chinese, and then you blamed the ATM for being difficult to use without a translation app, how on earth is that not a problem with what you decided to do?

Anyway, I digress...
