That could be one way of looking at it, but it would most likely be considered as conjecture. To be more specific, it does not appear to highlight something that can be determined as a language barrier between dialects of the same language, as your saying here Otto. The translations such as this appear to be to those of the wider intended reader audience, not culture audience.
But let's not derail, the other Dave has yet to answer John.
