As maintainer of https://linguister.io/, should I start work on polyfill for that API?

If this API will be implemented in next few years, there will be browsers who hold up the world in progress.

Linguist have enough many users, so we could expose this API for client side code, and users with browsers where Translation API is not implemented yet, could install Linguist and sites who uses Translation API would works fine. Translation API calls would proxy by Linguist and preferred translator module would be used.

Any thoughts about it?
