Sure we have:

if a folder /en/ contains siblings with different languages, and the
editors working in the /en/ folder should only be able to edit the
english content, set the following properties on the /en/ folder:

1. locale = en (you already got that)
2. locale-available = en (maybe you have to define this one)

After setting the correct folder permissions, everything should work as
expected.
