Of course, and not only that, it also requires a way to know which
manual exist, where they are, and possibly a way to install them or
point to a way to install.

The node name may be visible in the output, so if English node names are
used they won't be in the translated manual language. So I do not think
that is it correct, in general, to use the English node names even if
they link to the correct node in a translated manual with English node
names as anchors.
