Law / Is translating into Polish required for getting a Polish Citizenship? [7]

I am applying to confirm my Polish citizenship. My father's birth record was written in Russian and my grandfather's was in German. Does the consulate require you to translate these documents into Polish?

The documents are from the Polish Archives and so I thought since they were Polish documents the Polish government would have the necessary access to information to confirm the details....but not sure....

The written Russian is difficult to translate because that script is no longer used. I did get a university PHD student and he struggled but was able to decipher but he is not an official translator....
