Didn't read. An LLM, of course, will think differently if it was trained natively on material written the "other" language (capturing the probablistic word associations inherent to the source material author's native language). However, if you train solely on English text and then simply translate the results to a different language, then no, there will be no difference. Seems pretty obvious.
