No. But those are indeed the minority; the vast majority is in Lisp.

It doesn't matter. What does matter is that the echo-area messages,
whether they come from C or Lisp, are a small part of the text that
Emacs presents to the user as part of the UI. We have special buffers
(like *Help* and *Apropos*) where we show information which won't fit
the echo-area, we have menus and dialogs, we have tooltips, etc. etc.
The names of commands and user options are all in English, and those
names have mnemonic value.
Let's face it: the classic i10n framework doesn't really work for a
program such as Emacs, which interacts with users via so many
different means.
