If aliens don't ever visit us, or they're not intelligent, or they arrive and are already fluent in Earth languages, this resolves N/A.

OK, so, for everyone: "AI-based technologies" outperform "analog" linguists in translation in terms of relative quality to money per user for human languages already ("per user", of course, doing most of the work here), and I say this as a linguist: programmers, after a certain point, basically stopped needing us. And alien languages, should that be a thing, can have things that never happen in human languages, further hampering analog linguists but much less hampering neural networks because those, to simplify a bit, learn anew anyway.
