They're just names. You're using a DE with a mouse and icons; the names
don't really matter that much.

Yes. Commands and applications need to have recognizable, unique names.
Given that we're now 40+ years into software naming, it's not that
unusual for non-english names to be chosen. Yerba mate is pretty tasty,
after all.
Debian is replete with software whose primary development occurs in
languages which are not english. As long as the command name is
transliterated into [a-z0-9]+, is unique, and is not generic, it's
perfectly fine.
