Some translations are in tens instead of dozens. I know the meaning is similar, but it can be confusing if somebody gets the idea that "decena" is the Spanish word for dozen, when it in fact is "docena".

Well that's how it works with idioms and idiomatic usage of words.

I think the English and Japanese match close enough.

eng
He has dozens of books about Japan.
jpn
彼は何十冊もの日本に関する本を持っている。

A number of dozens (not an exact number) and a number of tens (not an exact number) is OK, I think, resulting in natural-sounding phrases in both languages.
