A linguist isn't the same thing as a translator - I imagine she's actually the one who programs/does the constant adjustments the universal translator would need, and handles anything it can't deal with.

But, speaking as a professional translator: yes, yes we absolutely will script-based have a universal translator in the future. The improvements simply of the public source software (comparing, say, Babelfish to Google Translate) within the last decade or so are astounding and if this development keeps apace, while I don't think all translators will be out of a job, a lot of them certainly will be.

I don't know... when I plug stuff into Google translate it's still pretty nonsensical the majority of the time. There's still so much stuff we don't even understand about the structure of language. If we DO get working machine translation... we'll have hit the singularity because using language is basically what defines human intelligence.

I don't think it will happen in my lifetime.
