Getting out my crystal ball and looking to the future, as you'd climb into the cockpit you'd choose your language of choice (or maybe the RFID tag on your badge would do it for you) and all the labels on the knobs/dials/screens would be written in that language. ATC comms would be sent directly to the aircraft rather than the crew, and would come up on a display, removing the possibility of erroneous "did he say that"s.

In the meantime, if any Russian pilots want to get trained in English in return for some advantageous rates on airfreight, my wife would be only too keen to train them.
