Cuneiform was so popular for 3000 years because it could be used for any language (unlike hieroglyphs; the el-Amarna diplomatic archive was excavated in Egypt and found to be a great pile of multilingual cuneiform tablets), so probably an algorithm could be built to *pronounce* cuneiform, but translation, not so much.
