In fact, it's right that « savannah official language » is English : we 
need a popular language to permit everyone to cooperate - and english 
is the language that the most users knows.
So you're welcome to give all the informations in English.
But about the name, it seems to be a confusion. English name made it 
easier to understand to more people than swedish or whatever but you 
can give to your project the name you want. Balsa is balsa, batalla 
naval is batalla naval and I've never understood what means emacs.
