> many of us already used machine translation to read some legal agreement in a language we don't know.

Most people don't have to deal with documents in foreign languages in the first place.

But for those that do, yes, machine translation use is widespread if only as a first pass.

I know I did for rent contracts and know other people that did the same. And I said many, not most.
