I don’t know anything about the game but the fact that he needs google translate to communicate already tells me these organizers went above and beyond to deal with him.
Yes, I haven't played in over a decade but it is a game that requires clear quick communication between players because every card can have multiple paragraphs of text that contain special rules that effect you and your opponent. There's also over 12,000 cards so no way you could remember them all especially in another language and trying to use google translate is mind numbingly retarded.
Having played in tournaments back a couple decades ago, you also need to be able to cite rulings because the actual rules of the game frequently contradict the text of the cards, especially priority rules for traps and counter traps.
No chance if you don't speak the language, and that was back when the game was dramatically less complicated than it is now.
