I agree with what you are saying but the way you are putting it sounds wrong. Everyone already has the right to learn whatever it is they want to learn in their own language, its just that they don't have the opportunity due to a lack of resources.

Nobody is stopping anyone from learning anything in their native language. There are significant disadvantages in doing so, which has lead to people not prioritizing translations. That's not wrong in any way. It's sensible to not do something that doesn't provide a significant net benefit after all. So the solution is providing facts, evidence or justifications to counter those disadvantages and ignite the movement to accessible resources yourself!

When you do so, you'll be in a position to gather the required metrics to convince peers :)
