I don't think it's the translation itself that they're worrying about, that's relatively cheap, it's the advertising, publishing and distribution that's costly Besides, I wouldn't offer to translate it yourself, leave that to professionals (not that your Japanese sucks ), since certain aspects like humourous remarks etc. are extremely hard to translate, yet translators do this on a daily basis.
