A matter many take lightly unfortunately.

What’s the importance of translators? The translator is from the chain of narration. The Shaykh didn't speak English. Someone translated it. Who translated it? Tell us. The translator is needed in referencing. Even the kuffar know that. How can a Muslim and especially Salafi be heedless of it?! — Quoted from Aboo Ruqayyah 'Abdus Samad

Sourcing telegram channels and not investigating those who are behind telegram channels is a dangerous move. If i was to source the Majmoo ‘al-Fatawa [of shaykh ibn baz] (telegram channel) then that is acceptable as our teachers have shared things from their channel and the channel is maintained by Aboo Bilal Nahim ibn Abd al Majid.

If you DON'T know the translator of book, article or post DON'T read it. The translator is from the chain. Protect yourselves. This is how the salafi du'at in west like spubs (salafi publications) nurture the salafis, mentioning the translator and not just take from unknown translators. — Quoted from both Tahir Bin Mansoor and Aboo Ruqayyah 'Abdus Samad

A list of some authentic reliable translators (Please know that these are just some, there are many many many more reliable translators Alhamdulillah):

Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid Abdulilah Lahmami Abu Abdullaah Hasan as-Somali Abul Hasan Maalik Abu lyaad Amjad Rafiq Uways Taweel Abu Idrees Muhammad Abul Abbas Moosaa Richardson Anwar Wright Abu Mu'adh Taqweem Kashif Khan Rasheed Barbee Raha Batts

For Qur'anic translation: Dr. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan

If you are new to the Salafi community then you will also come across people who hate Abu Khadeejah and our other salafi brothers. They spread lies regarding him and others. To clear the doubts then go to the file section called ‘In Defence of SPUBS (Salafi Publications / Maktabah Salafiyyah)‘
