The source article should meet certain standards, but do not fall in the trap where the translated articles must themselves be better than some imagined standard. That would lead to a defunc process.
I'm not saying a translated article must be flawless. But certainly if we were paying for translations, it would be appropriate to have some level of expectations for the quality of the result. With volunteers, any honest effort is encouraged, although if the quality is low enough to be worse than the alternative, they can be encouraged to redirect that effort more productively.
