According to the current HTML5 spec, yes.

Translatability is inherited in HTML5, see:

"Otherwise, either the element's translate attribute is in the inherit
state, or the element is not an HTML element and thus does not have a
translate attribute; in either case, the element's translation mode is
in the same state as its parent element's, if any, or in the
translate-enabled state, if the element is a root element."

What might be confusing that HTML5 spec has "translation mode" for
elements which doesn't talks about inheritance. But this mode is derived
from the value of translate attribute which is inherited.
