Whose muscle memory?

It's been a long time since I've actually used software in non-English
languages, mostly because I got fed up with translations, but for
people who actually do use those translations, I would expect that
they might actually have their muscle memory wired to input
non-English responses to "yes/no"?

I wish we had usability studies for this sort of thing...
