I think this discussion is missing probably the most obvious use of
foreign language translators.. translating voice intercepts!  Not all
communication is done digitally.  People use phones and radios all
over the world.

I grew up and went to high school very close to NSA.  In fact, my
junior high school was on Fort Meade, and our bus used to ride through
their parking lot every day.  They are one of the larger employers of
foreign language majors out of school in the area.

They've also got thie really cool building that we got to watch being
built which has looks to have a copper conductive surface.  I guess if
you build a tempest building, you can buy cheaper hardware to put IN
the building!
