I wonder how real of a problem this is -- for example, in classical music, a lot of terms and directives come from Italian: eg forte, piano, tempo (the word itself and the various degrees from largo to presto) etc. Even if you don't otherwise learn Italian, as a musician you quickly learn what they mean and it would be unusual to see those notated in English even as a native English speaker.
