It's mostly because auto-translator sucks and they can't speak english very well. While japaneses do learn english at school, they don't have to use it in their every day life. It's really easy to forget if you don't practice it.
It's pretty much the same for americans. I'm sure they do learn a second language at school, but most of them can't speak it once they're done with school. (I'm french canadian, so I don't know exactly how it works in the USA. I concider myself lucky, all the games we had when I was young were the US versions... in english. That's where I learnt english.)
