I think it's more that he's obsessed with having absolute control over the translation, rather than just trusting professionals to adapt the core idea across different languages
One could argue that in a century, his work couldn't be experienced anymore anyway because the culture and the language will have evolved from what he intended
I mean it sounds like it’s already been translated unofficially anyways, so all an official translation would be is him putting his seal of approval on it, which he doesn’t want to do because he can’t evaluate a translation in anything other than japanese.
