That's what I'm often hearing, and not only from you, but have a look at wiki page about the /craft /key [1 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:craft>], as in there I can read:
"/You are *free *to use *values *that match your needs as a mapper and your
local or country environment, culture and *language*. *If *using the English
language, please use the singular form, e.g. carpenter not carpenters or
carpenter's./"
From the above I get:
1. A recognition that sometimes English terms are not fit to convey a
culture-specific concept.
2. I can use terms that are not part of the English language if they are
needed to convey such concepts.
Have a nice day,
Sergio
