Yes, the keywords and ADV are English.  There are 4, count 'em 4 tokens;
with a vocabulary that small, the benefits of internationalization are extremely dubious compared to the added complexity.

At the recent OpenGroup Messaging Forum Conference, one of the speakers from Asia discussed the Korean anti-spam law that requires a similar labeling scheme in Korean. He mentioned that spammers tend to use different character sets that technical say the same thing, but in practice are harder to filter.
