I think so, I'd wait for an admin of course. A good appendage also would be "<i>by default</i>".<br><br>So something like:<br><br><i><span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">Themes are </span><b style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif">required</b><span style="line-height:22px;font-size:13px;font-family:sans-serif"> to have all public-facing (both the front-end and back-end) text in English by default.</span></i><br clear="all">

<div><br></div>My understanding is that all text the user sees - on the front-end (viewing the site) and the back-end (admin pages) must be localized. <div>Others feel that this only refers to the front-end.<div><br></div>
<div>I personally find it strange that you're not going to translate theme options so a clarification would be great.</div><div><br></div><div>Or perhaps a better discussion would be: in what cases would there be an exception to translation e.g. dummy text in special templates?</div>
