Can I translate foobar into my native language?

Actually you can't. It's like that as every people understand some words of english while if it was in polish, it would be harder for people all around the world to use foobar. it is also easier for plugin developers to create a component in english than having to translate it in everey language or release it only in their native langage. It works in both senses.
