The cost of graduate school is even more expensive and unreasonable

I think American universities are able to evaluate it themselves as there are many international students in the US. How do you think of this?
It is an interesting idea, but a graduate school is not going to go out of their way for international applicants by having international students work or volunteer as transcript translators. Public state universities, for example, are beholden to the tax payers of that state, and any additional task that needs to be managed -- even if they had volunteer translators -- would require additional overhead.

Is there any of you guys submit original transcript ( from other country) and be admitted by school?
Yes, is if the transcript is in English. Your problem is that your transcript is not in English. Even when transcripts are in English, it is often beneficial or required to use a transcript service like WES to provide GPA equivalency calculations for unknown foreign schools with different GPA scales.

Also, many foreign schools use English as the primary language. That may be one reason why many foreign students have English transcripts.
