We really need humans to translate. Googly stand-ins will make people THINK they can communicate in foreign languages, but when the inevitable misunderstandings occur, humans will be needed to sort things out.
2010 is an excellent time to be a translator. (And a young woman I know who is spending half a year in Korea to start learning the language is probably paving her path in gold right about now. She's 14, already speaks fluent Chinese and wants to be an interpreter. She'll be in huge demand before she gets to college.)
