A lot of them yes. Others don't care.

Yes (mostly).

Marking them translatable will enable those that want to translate them to do so.
The rest who don't care or do not have enough time and prefer to focus on the GUI 
will leave them untranslated.
Thus, I don't see why you should leave them untranslatable. You'll only continue to 
recieve requests to mark then translatable ;^)
