I learned chumash in a litvishe cheder in brooklyn almost 40 years ago. we translated the chumash into yidish and english. the yiddish was because, it was yiddish and the mechanchim felt we should be somewhat familiar with the language, and the english was so we would understand the chumash. I dont think this “the problem” the OP makes it out to be, then again, he seems to have problems with just about everything in the world of chinuch today. 40 years later this same yeshiva translates chumash into english and yiddish for the same reasons (they stop with the yiddish at an earlier grade now).
