I can understand the indeed for all the publications to be published in one common language, to enable easier comparison between works and to be able to share the work across more of the community so we can benefit from the work.
Perhaps there can be some support provided by the WMF to enable translations of the research to english in a timely manner. Or at least allow for an abstract to translated now and for finalists of the potential works to be translated. Inclusion of communities must be our first priority above any recognition through awards anything short of that goal doesnt bestow any value to being awarded something as part of a global community.
