I noticed today Wikimedia visual identity guidelines has no
translation, at least on the foundation site. For me it seems to
worthy to translate in several languages. Or not?

If we have translation(s) a certain policy, however, it will be useful
to determine whether the translation is as official as the original
one(s). Which case is that? Or can we simply say "as for all policies
of the Wikimedia Foundation, basically you should consider the
original one(s) as official"?
