I agree with Jiro, this appears to be an anti-rationality quote. The most straightforward interpretation of the data is that people didn't understand the question as well when posed in a foreign language.
Chalk this one up not to emotion, but to deontology.
It's also possible that asking a different language causes subjects to think of the people in the dilemma as "not members of their tribe".
