No. It doesn't actually translate the game. It's just redirecting the game when it loads text.
For example, say all the card data is in JP_card_info.txt. The game will load with this info. But ST had also completed most of the card translations for the English version. But they hadn't done everything, so they didn't implement an English version, but left the files on the disc. So all the code does is instead of loading up JP_card_info.txt, it loads EN_card_info.txt.
Nothing can translate any language to another language perfectly.
