Yep if the Brits go it alone there will be a ton of new official regulations that will be generated. So in short to medium term there will defiantly be a gain.
The availability of translators for non-Eu nations is another reason for the EU to keep things in English. French/Korean translators are probably only 1% as common as EN/KR ones.
There is a ton of logic to stick with English, but French passion for their language seems like it borders on the illogical sometimes.
I can see the French wanting to "punish" English speakers as for the first time they are discussing imposing a French language test requirement for UK expats living there if BREXIT passes. Hopefully such talk will last as long as the US calling french fries, "Freedom Fries".
