The first three fit the idea of language level, but the last does  
not.  Being a native speaker *implies* total command of a language,  
but it doesn't guarantee it.  I would change the wording to match the  
others:

3 "This user speaks perfect english"

Now they can all be translated with similar phrases.  Perhaps they  
can even be translated with the exact same word, but with different  
suffixes:

jatlhbe' / jatlhlaw' / jatlhbej / jatlhchu'
