Look.. just as well as you say "we can use online translation" why can't the guy who is posting it?

Maybe they would, if they would even KNOW they should use in english.
When is the last time you tried to post as a guest?
Imagine this:
1) Your english is bad and you find this great site, that has different little flags on top - you pick your flag and click on it.
2) Now you're reading about great games in your own language - and there is a button saying (in your native language): DISCUS THE GAME HERE - but as I said in your language.
3) You click on it to say something nice, to preise the site, to ask for help - whatever and you simply see a few english words (a language you're not good at) and a space to write the message in.
4) You write the message and send it off (in your own language) and have no idea you did anything wrong - and it gets deleted.
There is no warning there that you should only use english. That warning is in the registration form - so unregistred guest aren't even told (not even in a language they might not understand) to use english.
So why would they bother to use a translator?
Again:
1) Friendly invitation in your own language.
2) No warning to use English.
3) Capability to post.
All of that equals posts in native languages!
Not to mention that if you click on a game discusion link you'll be taken directly to the last post of that thread - so you'll never even see any stickies to read rules or anything!
And BTW - I only just realised all of that (I did a little test before I started writting this.
