Yaff: The problem with that Shittah is that it’s very hard to say because K’rias Shmah can be said in any language. Saying with a slightly different Havarah shouldn’t be any worse than saying in English. (It could be that R’ Moshe holds like the Ritva quoted in the Bi’ur Halachah in the Siman 65, but that’s also very hard to say because it’s a very minority opinion in the Rishonim.) For things that require Lashon Hakodesh, however (like Birchas Kohanim), changing Havara should be a major problem.
