Also, ANN spam is annoying; I'd like to see it all confined to one board (which could be trivially ignored), not machine-translated all over the place
Is there a solution to creating a topic in 15 languages? Let's say I'm trying to announce bitcoin for the first time. Why shouldn't I be able to post the ANN in my native language?

If your native language wasn't english, you would understand that it's very hard for a new user to understand Whitepapers, ANN posts, and most technical terms for crypto in english. A translated page helps the average user to understand more about a coin. They will then INVEST in the coin.
