If the information is that high value the submitter is free to translate it themselves. Readers don't have any more moral duty to machine translate and pick through a foreign language submission than they do to try and glean value from a submission written in terrible English by a teenybopper who doesn't use capitalization or punctuation and fills the page with emojis.
There are plenty of articles full of meme-speak that are intensely fascinating but I know if I want to share them with HN I'd better find or produce a version they'll find readable.
