USCIS specifically says that any foreign language documents must be translated......I would either translate them or leave them out.  You do not want to leave any room for ambiguity.

Hi all, just wanted to ask if anyone of you did not need to submit any translated posts/messages? I mean, is it okay not to include non English chat messages so I don't need a translator? Will it affect my petition? TIA!

Chats and messages are not required for the petition 

YMMV

Exactly,  because the interview location accepts evidence in English and the official language of the country

Thank you! I'll just leave them out. Then I'll do what you did, I'll let my fiancé bring copies of our chat messages on his interview. 🙏😊

Thank you! I wasn't really sure if they are required for the petition since almost everyone submits chat messages and translates them. I'm so glad I asked! 😀

A lot of misinformation out there

From the I-129f instructions.

 

https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf?download=1

 

Translations. If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification should also include the date, the translator’s signature and printed name, and may contain the translator’s contact information.
