I think general translation is kind of solved when it comes to popular languages. Try DeepL.

I dont know how well it works for different language pairs to the languagesi know. I dont even know if deepl uses one of the newer large language models

What qualifies as popular languages in your opinion?

I use DeepL a lot as a first draft when translating stuff from Swedish (~10 million native speakers) or Dutch (~30 million native speakers) to English. While it's good enough as a starting point it regularly negates the meaning of fairly simple sentences, completely misses the use of popular idioms (often resulting in a non sequitur) and more often than not spits out grammatically incorrect nonsense for any sentence relying on implied context.
