My claim isn't that it's easy to solve NLP; of course a resource-constrained system like Google Translate that inderects many language pairs through English is going to have glaring issues. My claim is that the challenges generalize between languages. If you can handle English, you can handle any other language, and while the easy parts might at least look different at the surface, the hard parts are all the same.
