I agree that software will soon be able to efficiently interpret between two languages. I take issue with the article stating that "people will be fluent in every language". Having access to an interpreter (software or human) does not make one fluent in a language. Actually being fluent provides a much greater depth of understanding than an interpreter can ever approach. An English-speaking businessman who lives in Japan and relies on an interpreter will not be as efficient at his job as one who becomes fluent in Japanese, due to the enormous subtleties and cultural complexities of language.
