Collisions are guaranteed, yes, but, you also have to keep in mind that the only collisions that matter are the interesting ones. That is, collisions between two different messages written in different languages, and where both messages make some sort of sense. Although I don't have a mathematical proof of it, I'd have to wager that those types of collisions are exceedingly rare.
Edit: At least "exceedingly rare within the space of plain-text messages smaller than N characters," for some reasonable value of N.
