I would not risk it for a document that's been formally requested and is right on the list of required documents in the original app as well. This strikes me as a uniquely bad idea even if I understand your point.Random question for everyone, we got a request for an updated criminal record. Do you think I could just upload a new one without a translation? It seems like a waste of money to translate it again as it's exactly the same as the original one we sent, but with an updated date and a new number. I think they can figure out November and Noviembre are the same month...
(I actually did include a few optional supporting docs without translation in our case, but they were very much supplemental/for information and not essential to meeting the admissibility criteria)
