That's why I think AI would have to be involved, to figure out what the word should be in context. I don't know what word the French use for the "home" page of a website, but if it's kind of a standard then hopefully an AI system would eventually be able to take the english word home and turn it into whatever the french use.
And in a way it could maybe be used to get more ads on more computers, since there would be more of a reason for non-english speakers to come to english only websites and see the ads.
And lastly, it does seem to make the most sense to have a range of automatic options. "All languages", "All languages except for list", "No automatic translation". Maybe it would require for AI processing to be more local for security/privacy. There are some things that you might not want sent to some online AI platform to translate.
I know some of the anime and manga companies are planning on switching to AI instead of human localizers because they keep running into localizers that actively hate the property or author and will change the spirit of the work instead of being faithful to what was written.
