I’m trying to plan a trip within the next year to go to at least 1 location out of the U.S. to climb. I’m looking for incredible Traditional climbing or Bouldering (even sport climbing) With a good difficulty range, from 5.9-5.13 routes.
Wherever I go I’m also looking to experience a range of the culture and foods. I’m hoping not to spend too much money, and I would like it if a few of the locals understood English, but I’m flexible. The largest emphasis is on the climbing.
Please list the Name and location of the climbing sites, best time of year to travel, and any helpful information you might be able to provide.

I'll second Sardinia.
Also, El Chorro.

A long way from where I started

And I'll second El Chorro. (With the caveat that although the climbing is multi-pitch, it is largely bolt-protected). Magical place, and fits your other criteria, too.
Edit:
Location is southern Spain, so best season is probably February.

I'll second El Chorro, too.
Flights are pretty cheap once you get there. We flew Easy Jet RT for 18 Euros from Berlin to Sard.
Word of warning: there's a Sardinian gate security woman who attributes climbing equipment to terrorist activity. She made me throw the rope in the garbage.

My favorite was Le Gorge du Verdon!! Perfect Limestone, Great climbing,(I did some of the very finest .12+,.13- routes of my life there!) and the scene in La Palud was awesome!
Super classic moderate .10's, and .11's as well!
Super exposure and beauty!!
Amazing place!!

I'll say Gothenburg (Göteborg) and Bohuslän in Sweden. Superb singlepitch (to short two pitch) trad on granite, steep sport, and nice landscapes. Fly into Copenhagen, leave quickly (expensive, no climbing) and go north into Sweden. Continue to Oslo (more expensive than Copenhagen), do a bit of Norwegian cragging and fly out.
