A translation of a relevant post could be given merit(s) just for the effort put in, even though it does not offer any new idea.

This is a worth-discussing point. Sometimes, translated threads received more merits than original ones. I don't deny decent efforts that users put into their translations, but to say their efforts are more significant than original authors, I disagree.

Authors of original threads have to do lots of works to compose their threads: Reading, Searching, Composing, Editing. Repeatedly do that before click on Post button. They actually edit their threads many times after that.

I guess everyone has their opinion of what makes a good post.

Posters usually think their posts are useful, but the fact mostly is contrasting.

It is pretty hard to merit a post which you don't agree with however. I am not sure if I've ever done that before. (*edit, I remember now. I did it. But It is very rare.)

Yep, it's the point. Meriting worth-reading posts which you disagree with.
