No. The effort is about software localization, not translation of a programming language.
In the context of PureData, those two things are curiously similar.

Translating the objects would require PD to support dialects, like AppleScript did.
It doesn't, because the .pd files don't need to contain non-english classnames, whereas you'd write AppleScript in a plain text editor with no special translation support from the editor, so AppleScript files _had_ to be themselves multilingual.
Applescript files could be compiled in English and decompiled in French. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript#AppleScript_dialects
It would be impractical, because PD's language is graphical and not using a natural language metaphor.
Pd is hybrid: it's definitely textual to a large extent.
Appart from the PDPP crew, who's writing their patches using a text editor?
Extreme PD contest: write an electroacoutic and HD video composition for "pd -nogui" using vi. Win the contest and get a lifetime grant to compose a holographic cyber-opera for "pd -sleepgrain 0 -outchannels 1024" and 7 Xbox 360 gamepads using edlin in speech recognition mode. Get famous 50 years after your death from a bad larynx cancer, as a painter (of course), and get all your patches exposed at the Guggenheim (in Bilbao).
(and a better name...)
swap the middle letters: s/red/der/i does it still look stupid?
SidereData?
