Interesting question. Have you tried using the REST API Explorer while impersonating someone with a non-English language. Theoretically, it's honoring the ACLs of the authenticated user, so it may grab the language on the returned results (assuming you are returning display values). See the sysparm_display_value setting in the REST API Explorer and set it to true or all.
I just impersonated someone with Spanish as their language setting and the REST API Explorer brought up translated labels when I used sysparm_display_value=all (or true).
