Ironically, this might be an area where machine learning could be beneficial.
I've been watching a few projects that are attempting to live translate videos. We are very close
Live is great but I don’t think it’d be feasible for most languages to be a real 1:1 translation in live.
Even a 10s delay allows for the whole sentence/phrase to be captured and translated in entirety. A lot of languages can drastically change meaning due to a word on the other side of the sentence.
The great thing about television, is that "live" is a flexible concept.
The playback software could happily play 10 seconds ahead of what's actually on the screen, and have plenty of time to translate like that.
In the same way that we sometimes put delays into live events to allow the subtitling systems breathing room.
I've always heard this was because of the infamous Superbowl Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction (where the malfunction was that only one nip was slipped and not both as was clearly intended)
