Very nice ! How might one go about adapting this to other languages ? Does a version of the model downloaded exist somewhere ?

I would think translation to other languages would be trivial. The model is just a map of word to vector. Every word is converted to it's vector representation; then the query word is compared to the input words using cosine similarity.
I assumed you meant computer languages :-) If you mean human languages, yes Google publishes word2vec embeddings in many different human languages. Not sure though how easy it is to download.
Added support for multiple languages, using fasttext's embeddings
