Done...
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Information_checklist#Verification_Policies_and_Practices
now says: "If the CP/CPS documents are not in English, then the CP/CPS 
documents that are relevant to the root inclusion request must be translated 
into English."

Also updated
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Recommended_Practices#Publicly_Available_CP_and_CPS
to add the second sentence to the 3rd bullet point:
"The CP/CPS should be available in an English version. The non-English version 
may be authoritative (as that's the working language of the CA) but the CA is 
responsible for ensuring that the translation is not materially different from 
the authoritative version of the document."

Note that this is also on our list of things to add directly to the policy:

Fair enough.

Before asking folks to review the documents again...

Would a representative of GDCA please confirm that the following translations 
are correct to the best of their knowledge? 
Please also confirm that these documents match the corresponding version of the 
document in Chinese (no material differences).
