Yes, but perhaps W. was translating it 'from' English in his head as he wrote.

While we are at it, I can't resist this quote (I don't want to get into
anything either):
Authentic / fake. Whoever writes hermetic texts like Heidegger's Sein und Zeit
perpetrates a philosophical imposture. He incurs the same sin as someone who,
writing clearly, tackles pseudoproblems or digresses without contributing
anything new, as is the case with Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations.

Given Wittgenstein wrote in German, not English, it might be more accurate to
say it has only the text in English (translation). [We wouldn't say of a
translation of "Being and Nothingness" into English, that the book "has only
the English text"].
Everyone who already knows that the English text is a translation, and not a
translation by Wittgenstein either, would not be misled. But that is not
everyone.

There's a new online site with the complete text of Philosophical
Investigations. It's a copy of what's usually called the third edition, which
means
it's the second edition with an index. Very clear; obviously 'copied'
straight from the original.
However, it has only the English text.
