Another 100 years or so.

Using google translate for every word can get you by, but if you try to type full sentences it doesn't really work.

If it has to work on languages it's unfamiliar with, probably never.

the other night i was looking into characteristica unversalis. I actually attempted starting a similar project, every once in a while I will try my hand at it, but much like Leibniz' attempt it never pans out and I am a lot less smart than he was.

not fully related to the topic but also didn't merit it's own topic I guess. look into it, the rabbit hole leads to computational linguistics anyway.

I can see it getting there for major languages by the end of the century. Universal is probably a longer way off.
