Hi, More likely, NSA wants language experts to translate papers on (e.g.) cryptography from open sources that are not otherwise accessible to their experts whom, as you point out, are trained in other fields, and not necessarily fluent in the requisite languages. Note that one attribute of the NSA is that they are charged with knowing and monitoring *everything* in their field. If a paper is published in Tamil about some odd mathematical theory, making that paper available to their researchers is an imperative.
