You have mentioned the essential requirements, and reciting it in Arabic formula is not a must. As long as the due purport is said, in whatever language. 

Of course, something that was not mentioned is the female being from Ahlul Kitab, her having consent from father if virgin, and other details mentioned in practical book of laws. 

Furthermore, the female is the one who initiates the contract, and the male is to accept.

Does the Sharia allow you to perform Mutah in a situation when your wife isn't able to have intimacy with you due to a high risk pregnancy and the period of such lack of intimacy exceeds 9 months?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Mut'ah marriage is a way to save people from falling into sinful acts but such type of marriage has conditions which must be fulfilled. If you need to save yourself from falling into sinful act through going for Mut'ah marriage, you need to get your Muslim wife's permission if you want to do the Mut'ah with a woman from People of Book (Ahlul Kitab) like Christians or Jews.

Wassalam.
