These initiatives are always couched in "inclusion" rhetoric (the very name of your project is telling); I don't doubt for a second that it's a genuine sentiment, but I strongly suspect your team hasn't thought through the full, self-defeating implications of universal language translation.

The problem is that it increases the risk of monoculture to 100%. Without language barriers, cultural diversity is lost, not gained, since you have winner-take-all effects[0]. Instead of helping revive languages, it'll make American ideas, mores, morality (Puritanism), philosophies, and political values more dominant worldwide.

To be clear, this will increase economic opportunity, but will inevitably kill cultural diversity.

Is your team considering or studying this?
