It’s already happening. I know someone who is a translator of legal documents and international contracts, and almost all the jobs are gone and replaced with AI already.
It’s only cheaper if the mistakes it makes cost less to fix than paying a human to do it in the first place. That said, shifting operating costs to operating risk usually looks good on paper because the risks don’t get quantified properly or at all.
I can’t even imagine what it costs for a big, international company to handle the fallout from a system that’s implemented wrong due to errors in the translation of the contract.
AI will replace professional translators not because it’s better but because it’s cheaper

We don’t always get the cheapest stuff. Poorly made CGI animes still get avoided afaik
