Clicking the link will display the tooltip on their own locale, but I am willing to avoid this.
I would say modifying chat message isn't that hard, but modifying link's display text within chat message would be a challenge here.
What was worse, I have to modify that display text from one locale to another in this specific case, thus I don't think it is doable.
Any idea, please?

I wrote an addon that did the opposite; translated all incoming hyperlinks (items, achievements etc) into my own locale.
The reason; I run an English client, but other guildmates are running on Italian/German clients and it was confusing as hell when they linked me achievements that were in their language.
I stopped updating it because it was not that popular.
You can still find it here:

The addon basically would scan the incoming chat, lookup any hyperlinks if found on it's own and do a replacement if it's string did not match what the client returned on its own.
