I would expect so, why would the English term be used in other languages? At least in Finnish, the term would be “kevytvaellus” (meaning “light[weight] hiking”) and in Swedish the term “ultralätt” (lätt=light) is used at least as much as the English term.
Well, it might be representative of where the English term is used, I wouldn’t draw any more conclusions from that.
