All human languages have some commonalities. I remember this headline from 2016, when Google had an AI model that trained on some languages was able to somewhat successfully translate between language pairs it had never seen before: https://ai.googleblog.com/2016/11/zero-shot-translation-with-googles.html?m=1 https://ai.googleblog.com/2016/11/zero-shot-translation-with... Not sure what the state of research like this is now, or whether it's been applied to stuff like this. I hope so! EDIT: although it looks like it had seen the languages, but the pair it hadn't translated between.
