PKHEX and 3rd Gen egg clarifications

Hi all, 

I'm just looking for some quick information on some questions I have. 

I have just backed up my 3rd Gen Emerald .sav to see if any of the eggs I have deposited are shiny. 

1) If there is a shiny Surskit, will Pkhex (or any other editor) show it as shiny before it is hatched in game?

2) The Surskit was bred as egg using a PAL English Surskit and a Japanese Ditto from Japanese Emerald. (No Masuda, just needed a different ID). Why is it showing as Japanese even though it was bred on an English Emerald? Will the language change to English once hatched?

For some reason, in PkHex all 3rd gen eggs appear to have a japanese name before being hatched. If your game is in English the Pokémon hatched will have English as a language in the pkm file which means it has nothing to do with the parents. Trigger's PC includes a feature that allows to check if any eggs are going to be shiny if hatched in that particular save. Link:
