So, I'll just note I'm not a lawyer, nor Wikia staff. My knowledge is limited and I can't decide what staff might do about it. You may be right, and Wikia might shut him down. That being said, I'll try to clarify and then shut up about it... :D

...why I should spend time [adding attributions]... You can skip it if you don't feel like doing it yourself. It's just an option if he won't do it himself.

...Wikipedia:Plagiarism Free_and_copyrighted_sources says that "If the source is in a language other than English, the contributor may be under the mistaken belief that the act of translation is a sufficient revision to eliminate concerns of plagiarism...

This is referring to fully-copyrighted content from off-Wikipedia. A book, a newspaper, a site, etc. While CC-BY-SA isn't eliminating copyright, it is different from being fully-copyrighted: Other people can copy and use your work for anything, as long as they say they originally got it from you. Including copying CC-BY-SA pages and translating them.

From Help:Exporting pages:


 * The content should be exported so that the importing community can use the content in a new and unique way or using it in a different context (for example, importing Marvel's page about w:c:marvel:Thor into a community about the movie Thor or importing a series of pages from an English community into an international community so that they can be easier translated).

(emphasis mine) ...I do not understand, however, your sarcasm when you refer to "our" content... That wasn't sarcasm, and I'm sorry if it seemed that way; that's not what I meant. I said it's "your" content, because it's not "yours" anymore—it's licensed under CC-BY-SA when published on Wikia. That (sort of) means you relinquished full-copyright protections, and instead you have the protections of CC-BY-SA—which means people can copy it as long as they give attribution.

...but again, I'm not a lawyer, nor Wikia staff.

Contact Wikia; they can give you a definitive answer.

I'll shut up now. :x
