The answer

There is no harm in recalling the meanings of the words and remembrances of prayer in English after uttering them in Arabic. This is a form of contemplation and grasping the meaning, provided that you do not vocalize them, but rather keep them to yourself. This is because a person performing prayer is prohibited from uttering these words in a language other than Arabic if they are capable of pronouncing them.
