Speech-to-text got fast. Adding a language got cheap.
A conference interpreter is a separate trained professional per language. Two per language for a full day. That's the floor of human interpretation cost — there is no economy of scale.
The tenth interpreter costs as much as the second. The hundredth attendee is free. So organisers cap languages, not heads.
Machine translation has the opposite cost shape. The marginal cost of adding a tenth target language is roughly the marginal cost of the second. Voice synthesis is now real-time on commodity GPUs. Live captioning is a solved problem.
We pass the cost shape on. €10 per hour, per language, every language running at once. The interpreter who could do all thirteen at once doesn't exist; the software that can does.
