It's a good idea in theory, but I can think of a couple of issues

1. Performance issues
   If every comment is passed through the Google Translate API, the process of scanning for spam comments would be significantly slower -- Not everyone has 10Gig Fiber internet, and just the latency between a user and Google Translate could lead to a significant slowdown
2. API Limits
   Unless the translate API is truly unlimited (which I doubt, but I'm not sure), it would be impossible for larger channels to scan their comments without reaching the limit or paying an incredible amount

Adding support for a greater number of languages will become necessary as this project grows, but I do not think that this will be the way to do it.
If both of these issues can be resolved, this would be a promising idea, but I don't think is the best way to solve this issue

No disrespect at all, but I'm not confident that it fits here.

As a possible solutions to both of these issues:
Grouping translation of messages might be possible,

I know nothing of the translating package, but translating multiple messages at once would cut the number of requests significantly, perhaps a viable option

This is going to be infeasible tbh. Waiting on an API call for every single comment... Would slow down scanning by a factor of 1000x. Also you just used the translated text for everything which would break a ton of the filters. Not gonna be able to go with this unfortunately.
