That's a good point. Machine translation of text input by LLMs is pretty good for the languages I speak--English and Japanese--but it can get much worse with spoken input if the speech recognition isn't very good.
That said, OpenAI's Whisper is able to transcribe my spoken English nearly perfectly, and GPT-4's translation of that transcription into Japanese is usually very good. The main failures are with proper names.
