Just hire a translation team ffs it's not that hard and it's less expensive nowadays because of AI

It's because, if I release something official, I want it to match my vision. I was only able to do this for the Japanese version because I know Japanese myself, and I worked very closely with our brilliant translator to thoroughly check the text.

He's literally saying that he worked with a professional translator and when you're translating you must adapt to the local culture to land the joke. So I don't understand the problem

Yes and if he worked with a translator in any other language he would not be able to have that level of involvement.
