In Diablo 3, every time someone uses an inappropriate word I see a bunch of random characters instead of what they are actually saying. I'm a fan of angry, curse-filled rants. I enjoy seeing the interesting, colorful language of people who are having a hard time in-game. Is there a way to turn off the language filter?

Yes, you can change the language. And yes, it downloads the extra files when you do (after restarting the game client).
I changed it to Spanish (I had it at 100% in English) to try it for you and it's now updating.
I really wish it would've warned me because now I have to wait for it to reach playable before I can re launch it and change it back. I hope this answer prevents someone from doing it without knowing it.
Luckily, reverting back to English did not download anything additional.
If you want to change the language, you need to go to Account, and then select the desired language. This changes all text and spoken dialog in the game.
There are a few differences that are known and probably more as well:
Higher difficulties mean higher tier loot. Jay Wilson stated that over 70% of all of the armor items in the game cannot even be found in Normal difficulty. So as the difficulty raises so do the armor tiers. One can assume 4 per act totaling 16 tiers. Remember, tiers don't necessarily mean better, just different looking.
As the difficulty increases, the boss monsters become more powerful. More specifically, in each difficulty, the monsters gain one more special ability. By Inferno, they can have up to 4 special attributes which can make them very difficult to take down.
More obviously, the standard enemies will scale with the difficulty. This video says that monsters scale much like they do in diablo 2. They all have set stats which they carry with them as they level. The monsters also have more awareness and abilities as they scale through the difficulties.
Also, you progress through the difficulties, you can upgrade your artisans more through items that drop only in higher difficulties. However, as noted by @Kexlox you can also buy the tomes from the AH and upgrade your Artisans early.
Keep in mind while playing that Normal is made to basically be the tutorial and break you into the game. Experienced D2 players will cut through Normal with ease. As you progress, the game does get very difficult, and you'll be wearing your butt on your head once you reach Inferno. Inferno was basically built to murder you. Jay Wilson stated that they took the hardest difficulty that their testers could handle and agreed was fair and they doubled it.
FROM BRYSONIC'S ANSWER -
The difficulty also scales by having additional players affect monster HP. Monster damage used to scale, but no longer does as of patch 1.0.3.
Note: Because of patch 1.04 monster health per additional player now is not effected by difficulty.
Here is a table showing the amount of scaling that occurs based on the number of players in the game:
This table is now technically useless, but I will leave it here as a placeholder.

3 240% 100% 240% 100% 240% 100% 240% 100%
4 310% 100% 310% 100% 310% 100% 310% 100%
