I'm gonna add more to this. There is an enormous number of works out there, numbering millions taking a very low aproximation, that could be read. Most of them will be in a language that the average reader doesn't know. From those, even if the reader would only enjoy 1% of them, we would still be talking about thousands of works that this reader would never be able to read.

If said reader is interested in being able to read the works, but won't learn the language in which the works are written, then he should be grateful enough if someone, out of their will, decides to make a translation for others to read and enjoy.

Within moderation anyway. Translators aren't gods either, to put on an altar and worship.
