The bricks are already there, just not perfectly stitched together I give you that, we already have near perfect text translation for some languages, high quality earbuds, near perfect voice synthesis in some research papers.
Sure right now you can't use a product which works very well with those bricks together (I've seen some but it's still unconvincing) but in 5 years maximum this is a solved problem.
I'm even expecting the global English level to peak and then decrease because of that in the next 20 years. Learning foreign languages is very hard and less people would continue it just as a hobby if they have some software doing it for them.
