Useful for sure, but not world changing.

1) Most people have no need for translation software

2) Before LLMs we already had decent free translation in the form of the free Google Translate, using pre-transformer NN models

Personally I still use Google Translate as my go-to for translation, rather than using Sonnet 3.5. Maybe Google now use an LLM under the hood, but I haven't noticed any increase in quality in last few years.
