Yes of course, that's why he proposed produce=bell_pepper;chili_pepper.
which would make the Linnæan names the best option - there isn't any easy way to clarify it using only vulgar names.
Well there is an easy way: Clearly describing in the wiki that produce=pepper means the fruits of 'piper nigrum'. Introducing an inconsistent language scheme will confuse all occasional mappers. Latin names should remain reserved for genus=* and species=*, and you can add species:en=* for all languages as well.
