No, the translation isn't supposed to be necessary, untranslated strings should
simply show up as the English original.
The problem was that the about dialog tried to translate an empty string, which
somehow pulled in a whole bunch of translation meta data. You would likely see
some "error parsing markup" warning when you ran Onboard from terminal.
I've pushed two fixes to trunk. LANGUAGE=fr ./onboard-settings shows the about
dialog correctly now.
