I mean I'd use known text of other messages to get some likely statistical properties of the message.
I'd make a fast approx check for some of these properties that can run during brute force, then feed anything that passes that check to a better check, then finally to a human (maybe nowadays put an LLM before the human stage).
There's a chance to miss the translation if it doesn't match other messages but this seems like a decent approach.
