Google Translate's 20-year evolution from an AI experiment to a nearly 250-language tool highlights the rapid pace of AI adoption in everyday life, yet crypto remains largely absent from these platforms.

Projects addressing this (e.g., decentralized translation protocols) could capture 3-5% market share from centralized publishing within 18 months as Web3 adoption surges in emerging markets.
