Yes, I said "no they don't" because translation has the ethical implications of global inequality. Which, btw, climate change greatly exacerbates. I never said that LLMs don't have environmental impacts if used for translation; I said they have additional ethical implications when used for machine translation. Which is true. I have my doubts that you are particularly concerned with tech ethics and global inequality given how flippant you have been about the real issue of exclusion of global majority populations just from things as simple as language choices.
