And will they be able to decipher the gold discs that contain information from Earth?

Very slim since the Voyagers won't come closer than say half a light year to a planet, considering the vastness of space. Even if they come really close, would a race on the planet notice? Imagine an identical sized probe from another galaxy just so happens to pass by the Earth this year at a quarter light year. Would we even notice? And if it was picked up in a telescope, it would just be a pinprick of light. We'd think it was an asteroid. And even if we knew it was artificial, we have no rockets capable of picking it up!

well..you never know!! since, we don't have advanced futuristic scientific technology, we can't rule out the possibility that intelligent races exist in the outer space. for my part, i believe that we are not alone.
so, i may say that one day someone may find voyager 1 or voyager 2 and they may also be able to decipher the gold disks that contain information on earth. but there is also a big possibility that the voyagers may get destroyed by hurdles in their path.

No...
They are tiny metal objects --- and there are billions in our solar system --- uncountable trillions in the Milky Way galaxy.
The gas and dust clouds that we observe contain metallic objects - that originate in supernova explosions.
And the Voyagers are tiny.
An alien race would ignore them, just as we do.
We are currently gathering data on objects that might collide with earth, the lower size limit we are interested in is about 50 meters, though we just saw in Russia what a 20 meter object can do.
We would definitely ignore a 2 meter sized object.

Eventually I spose... although it could run out of fuel or w/e it runs on.
If it is wandering space, although it is many MANY years from reaching other life, another spaceship could come across it and either go inside to explore, and decide to find where it came from, or simply destroy the voyagers.
The gold discs have intructions of them how to play it so probably yes.
However in the same way, Humans will probably be extinct when they find it, just like the other 99.5% of life that has ever lived on the planet.

It will likely be an incentive challenge sponsored by The X Prize Foundation a few hundred years from now.

Probability - very low.
Deciphering? Well, anyone who can track and capture one of the Voyagers is probably smart enough to decipher the disc.

Anythings possible .

If it makes it's way avoiding all the debris in space for the next few billion years, there may be a remote chance. I wouldn't wait on it though.
