What an interesting question, and I'd love to hear from someone who has
read TRP in a langue other than anglais.  I've maintained, and know from
experience, that, Sartre, par exemple, is much better in French than
English, and plan to read Derrida and some others in their native francais.

Can anyone speak to this q?
