Do you find it weird that Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet and King Lear are all written in English? We’ve been doing this for centuries.

Having a snippet of native language is a more modern invention as far as I know (because if you can’t rely on the audience understanding the language, you need to subtitle the snippet), but it’s just a way of communicating to the audience in what language the conversation is taking place by showing, rather than telling.
