Are WAI fulfilling their mandate by making the guidelines so dense and
obscure that they need translation?
Not unless that is part of their mandate. One can cover just about
everything that way, so maybe it is...
From their mission statement:
"WAI develops support materials to help understand and implement Web
accessibility"
http://www.w3.org/WAI/about-links.html
And from the requirements of WCAG 2
"Design deliverables with ease of use in mind"
http://www.w3.org/TR/wcag2-req/
So I think they're falling a bit behind on both accounts here...
