visitor visa checklist confusion..

[Kilicaslan_mrs]

Hello, my in laws are planning to visit me in Canada this summer. they are living in Germany (PR's) but are Turkish citizens. On the visitor visa checklist there are a couple things they aren't understanding the meaning of. Firstly: "Proof of financial Support. You must include proof that you can support yourself and any family members accompanying you while you are in Canada." Does this mean they should provide a photocopy of pay cheque?
Secondly, the bullet that says "Purpose of travel" and next to it says "Note: refer to the responsible visa office in your region" what do they mean by that and what should be required for the purpose of travel? are the asking for a letter stating why they are coming to visit?
Thanks in advance!

1. Bank statement showing their balance for the past 3-6 months. Or a letter from you/your spouse stating you will be responsible for all costs in Canada, especially if they don't have very much money in the bank.
2. They include a state as to the reason why they want to go to Canada. The responsible visa office for them is in Germany so they get this checklist: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visa.asp?countrySelect=DE#applications

what do you mean by "include a state"? do you mean they just need to type a letter giving the reason?
Another important question, do the documents for their visitor visa need to be translated to English? such as their marriage certificates and passports?
