Think of it as an art form, sure language learning won't be financially necessary going forward but that doesn't mean you won't get personal benefits to learn languages. People never stopped learning to play an instrument even if pretty much anything can be generated by a computer nowadays. And unlike what you think, this good translation tech will not make languages converge but diverge even more since there's no financial need to learn other ones anymore. Language learning is hard and less people will likely engage in the activity if it only becomes a hobby. The most affected languages negatively will likely be the most learned ones at the moment.
