This is worse value than the charging for computer generated audio books from text (which anyone can do nearly as well / only slightly more badly at home).

Computer translation is far poorer than TTS. This isn't a boon to Self-publishing on KDP, or to people buying books. It's greed.
Just wait for the s*** storm when it hallucinates and puts something really offensive in, and of course the author won't be able to check as they probably won't be able to read the translated language.
