Are questions about User Interface messages or menu items involving languages other than English on-topic ?
Also, are questions about problems with translating/converting a UI from English to other languages on-topic ?
Yes, but since the audience is primarily English (and generally expected to be able to use English) the question itself should be in English, and it's most helpful that any non-English text in screenshots/etc is translated/explained unless it doesn't get in the way of answering questions.
As for translating an interface, that's what the language, localization and internationalization tags are for where appropriate!
