That's just factually untrue.

The percentage of the world population involved in script adaptation and language translation is really quite tiny. Consumers vastly, vastly, vastly outnumber producers.

Not to mention that we have things like automated translation that are "good enough" for many cases as well.

Whereas learning a new language to fluency, for most adults, takes about ten years.




Or takes forever, for some older/middle aged people, living in their own a bit isolated communities where there's no need to learn the new language
