In all fairness, I don't think the suggestion
ever was that *everything* should be translated
into *every* language. If that were to happen,
global unemployment would be eradicated in the
bargain. But of course it is
totally unrealistic.

Problem is, even translating key individual
elements is posing a challenge. And no matter
how successful that effort would be, it would
never be complete.

People who would rely on it would always be at
a huge disadvantage no matter what.

No, people will have to learn English.
Plain and simple. And they are, so no
worries :)
