No; my point was that if we choose appropriate terms for the
English \markup strings -- as Valentin has argued for in the past,
and I previously dismissed -- then you don't need to translate
them. If *every* \markup example used Italian musical terms or
Latin lyrics (that's as close as I can think to a "universal
musical language"), then there should be no need to translate
them.
