Can a disbeliever recite shahadah only in Arabic when s/he intends to become a Muslim? Isn't it enough if s/he says it in his/her own language?

Yes, the main thing is that it is acknowledged and recited in its Arabic form. Those who are insufficient in terms of Arabic can say it in their own language.
