Found the answer - Yes:-

Addon Manager > Cube Menu > Install - then
Accessories > Cube Menu > Settings

Then make your changes.
Tip after a few ugly outcomes I decided to leave the font at the default setting

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

I like the approach of having images on the navigation cube. Besides the clarity, there is no translation necessary.
