Translating something to be used in an official manner is not always a quick process. There can be and often is a bit of back and forth to make sure the correct meaning is sent and no faux pas happen. Granted there could be less of a delay for things like this, though that does depend on how large SE's on-hand translation staff is. As when dealing with official comments, you usually do not want your average bi-lingual person just doing it.
