I can understand why someone who speaks little English would be tempted to try to avoid translating the commit messages in case you didn't care. Maybe they were just busy.

But it also does seem reasonable to be annoyed and want it changed. Also reasonable to be less than 100% sure about making them do that if you want to encourage contributors. But you should ask them to fix things you don't like.

I think the nice thing to do would be to just use "please" when requesting to translate the messages. And if they won't bother for some reason then of course you don't need to accept it.
