Appreciate the question. I am curious to see as well if this is a common use case.

My gut feeling is that most communities benefit immensely from translating all public content. Users in other languages (often, non-English speakers) will see all content in their language, it’s a much nicer experience. There is a cost, of course, but it’s not very high. On our hosting, it’s free for most communities.
