Probably not, as both this and Winter Wrap Up felt more like direct translations with very few lyrical liberties taken. Syllabic transitions don't seem as smooth compared to the songs that were actually dubbed. I imagine if this or WWU were properly dubbed, there'd be a few lines changed.

Take, for example, the bridge in At the Gala -- the part where the girls go...


 * Fluttershy: To meet!
 * Applejack: To sell!
 * Rarity: To find!
 * Rainbow Dash: To prove!
 * Pinkie Pie: To whoop!
 * Twilight Sparkle: To talk!

If At the Gala wasn't dubbed, these would probably be direct-translated (though I don't know what they'd be translated to). Instead, it goes...
 * Fluttershy: Sore
 * Applejack: Zore no
 * Rarity: Yume wo
 * Rainbow Dash: Kana
 * Pinkie Pie: Eru
 * Twilight Sparkle: Tame

...which, taken individually, probably doesn't mean much -- and doesn't come close to matching the original lines in English. However, taken together as a complete sentence...

"Sorezore no yume wo kanaeru tame"

...means something along the lines of "each of us will live our dream". Liberties like that.
