I think there's no need at all to remove "hay" from posts, as people use more "hey" than "hay", see this (22.7k vs. 300, emphasis on your very uncommon).
It's important ...

Are there official translations of the phrase "Stack Exchange" into languages other than English?
The name "Stack Exchange" is a proper noun.

Is there any policy reason why language sites have badges named in English?
I guess it's the same reason as the rest of the user interface (links, buttons) is in English. There are still a lot of users coming to your site who (like me) don't speak Spanish very well. (I'd have ...

These overrides are set by us. Sometimes, these ...

I spoke with legal counsel about this. At this time, we don't want to translate those buttons. If the documents are in English, counsel believes that the buttons should be as well.
