I think it's supposed to be more like a DSL, aimed at non-programmers. So it may make sense to translate something like "Average", if you don't expect your target users to know english.

Not as stupid as translating low level error messages.

But it should be a presentation thing. The formulas stored in the file should be the same regardless of language. There's no good reason not to.
