My website is mainly in English and there are about 30 articles in different languages. Is it good idea to change the url so that the language letters are in the URL? For example Brazilian articles are like "domain.com/br/" etc?

yep I think so. My seo expert friends say subdomains are not good for multilingual sites. They always want domain.com/langcode/

Yes, keep the main URL for English content (i.e., domain.com/your-post/). and subfolder for other languages (i.e., domain.com/br/your-post/). This will help users read the content in a language they prefer instead of mixing everything together.

Yes, it's a good idea to mention language code in the URL. So it's easy for users and as well for search engines for an intended search query.
