I do not believe this is entirely true.  AFAIK, using the previous
stable version, you should be able to open the board and temporarily set
the language to English and save the board which should set the layer
names in the board file back to the default English translations.

As long as the patch was sane.  I would not be willing make a huge mess
out of PCB_PARSER for this one issue when the alternate solution is
fairly simple.
