The answer is above. Because it fragments the development community which ultimately harms everyone.
LF translating documentation for them is a one-shot effort that's ultimately going to be useless as time goes on without someone on their side dedicated to keeping it updated and keeping github issues in English.
It's not too much of an ask. Again, see Clickhouse for an example of how to do international open source correctly.

Your implicit assumption is that the Chinese-speaking development community is not sufficient to sustain the project. I don't think that scenario would be fragmentation but the addition of a new developer segment (net addition).
Weird how you think Tencent should perfect the project before the LF accepts it. Why can't the LF support the English documentation effort? To me, it sounds like you not only don't you want to be involved in a non-English project, but you don't want anyone else to be, and my question is "Why?"
