If it was feasible to do that we would've been doing it already.

An AI makes to cost effective to translate audio for an audience of just a few people.

In cases where it has been cost effective to pay a translator in the past I expect it will continue to be so. I'm aware that AI generated audio is pretty good, but translations are often pretty poor.
