Other traditions may view it differently but to me chanting is just another form of meditation, and it's a good preparation for meditation as it helps ground you, establish mindfulness, and quieten the thinking mind.

From that point of view it's actually better if it's in a language you don't understand or don't habitually think in.

It is also a good way to memorise scripture and this was used historically before it was all writtren down.
