This is strange because a VAT number shows that the local
government has been able to determine that you are a 
real organization. This is better than any other 
documents whether they are translated or not. The RIPE
employees can check the VAT number here:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/taxation_customs/vies/en/vieshome.htm

That takes care of most RIPE countries. For the other
ones, I think it is unreasonable to force them to
provide a translation because companies in England
do not have to provide translated documents.
