Comment (by wildworks):

 My understanding is that this JSON file is generated via the Google Fonts
 API: https://github.com/WordPress/google-fonts-to-wordpress-
 collection/blob/d6b5d580cfdba1c57f9f14bcca3fb398166786ce/src/constants.js#L2-L3

 Also, looking at the API documentation, it appears that there is no way to
 localize font names:
 https://developers.google.com/fonts/docs/developer_api

 Furthermore, even if you change the browser language to something other
 than English and access https://fonts.google.com/, the font names and
 category names will remain in English.

 Therefore, at least for Google fonts, localized names for font names and
 categories may not officially exist. However, I am concerned that if these
 are not localized, there will be inconsistencies, especially if the
 language of the WordPress site is changed to an RTL language.
