Absolutely, but I would be surprised if they didn't have some code in the production version right now to support doubtlessly upcoming translated versions - perhaps not a full blown declension engine, but it seems unlikely they'd go English only at the start and retrofit everything later. The code might not be optimized to just let them do a simple find/replace for English.

The problem of translation should not affect the writing of the original text.

For all you know, the "original text" is a mix of "foo bar" and lolspeak.
