I can confirm this is the case:

Effectively, you're translating your review into multiple languages.  This isn't an advertised feature/bug, but it's not necessarily incorrect behavior.  The number of people who wish to localize their reviews is probably about the same as the number of people who would follow your STR and be confused, so I'm closing this as wontfix.
