And even if he were to learn japanese he would still get the issue of "Death of the Author"! : DCongratulations, you have identified the central dilemmna at the heart of all efforts to translate something from one language to another. A translation will never be perfect, and a choice somewhere will always be made to leave something out or translate in a way that emphasizes one aspect of the original text over another. It's normal, it happens with every localization and translation.
If it bothers you, I'd suggest looking into multiple different translations to get a fuller picture, or become fluent in the original language. That's what I try to do. It's a lot more satisfying than deranged conspiracy theories.
Edit: In hindsight, we are all victims of that.
