Absurd waste of money. Some translation services, certainly if questioned by police etc., are fine - we would after all expect the same abroad.
It is not just major documents but every little leaflet from government at all levels which seems to be available in a dozen or more languages.
Seems unlikely that those with little or no English are a great asset and they should not be allowed as long term residents.
Translation services discourage integration and learning the host language!
