We already did. I did my MSc in 2014 and, in an Natural Language Understanding course we talked about machine translation and looked at some results of translating between English and French. It was difficult to find any fault with the translation. Machine translation capabilities haven't changed much since then. And I remember Microsoft advertising the bright future of kids without a common language using Skype (!) to communicate and play together, something that still isn't possible. Well, certainly not with Skype.
