Catalan translation:Ho vull saber.
Explanation:
Unlike English, Catalan needs to specify the direct object in sentences like the one you require. The pronoun "Ho" equals the thing the persons wants to know and is indeed necessary in Catalan. I'm not only sure but also positive both as a native speaker and as a linguist.
