Whether "we're there yet" on translation technology is still debated, but at some point we'll consider it "good enough" for most practical use cases, truly removing the linguistic barrier. This is actually both terrifying and exciting, because then it'll definitely start influencing spoken language to at least some degree.

For a diplomatic discussion where nuance is very important however... It also doesn't work great for translating works of art where the translation itself is open-ended and can be done in a bunch of different ways and requires a lot of editorial/artistic decisions from the translator.
