Spirits are not usually understood as being limited by human language in the way we are. What matters most is clarity of intention, attention, and the symbolic framework of the rite. Use English if it is the language in which you can speak with sincerity and authority.

The original language can be important when working within a specific tradition, especially for divine names, prayers, or kind of formulas, because it carries cultural and ritual associations. But poorly repeated words are not automatically more powerful than language you genuinely understand.

In yoga, one of the "supernatural abilities" (siddhas) is the ability to understand speech in any language. Even in the language of birds and animals. Most likely, we are talking about direct perception, and not about "translation". I do not think that spirits do not possess what advanced yogis are capable of possessing.
