An english translator or two shouldn't be too expensive for a company, especially since they will be releasing in a lot more markets. Digital sales are picking up faster than ever, especially on console, so companies will soon have no excuse for not spending a little extra money to bring games over to the west. The only real cost is the cost of translation, after that digital sales are infinitely cheaper on the publisher than physical. 

Sure a translator or two wouldn't be that expensive but the publisher has to make a profit so they budget the localization appropriately. Also translation isn't the only part of localizing a game

These days, translation is the biggest part of localizing, if they actually embraced digital. With digital there would be no need to make deals with retailers and manufacture physical copies, it would go straight to the PS store where people could buy it if they wanted.
