Form Tools 2, like it's predecessor may be translated in into other languages. As such, there should be NO hardcoded English or other language strings in the templates. Of course, if you're developing a theme for a particular case - not intending to publish it on this site, this is not enforced.

As a theme developer, you have access to any string found in the language files. See the /global/lang/en_us.php file for the default English values. This contains all the strings at your disposal. You can insert the strings into your theme like so: {$LANG.phrase_my_phrase_here}.
