IMHO yes, at least for the delay. The original is there too, so anyone who
is able to read english can look it up.

People that can read english but prefer the native version will judge the
quality of the translation themself, and file PRs if they notice lossage.
It's not like the "I don't buy translated comercially published computer books
any more" phenomenon - we can fix broken translations ourself.
