I don't care HOW good Julian is, he couldn't do a decent job.. Maybe  dictionary lokup, but that would require a huge codex.. We can't even do earth languages well now.... Translation software is still primative, and requires HUGE cpu and disk requirements, as well as months of manual training on code books. Then, I sat down, and thought about it. This is a TV show. That means that we need to abstract a bit.Movie Logic.Right.Sometimes, you know too much about a subject, and over-think things. So it should be possible. The thing to worry abotu is the game-stats.If we wanted to argue it worked by using a genetic algorithm to translate works, by automatically growing mapps between them, you could do it. You'd need decent CPU and Disk requirements, and you'd need a decent sized block of text that's teh same in both languages. A sort of Rosetta text.I thought about it, and decided that 1 gear pick would be reasonable, and it could give a +4 to a language check to one language, as well as letting you make a check untrained.It's not perfect translation, but it can guess enough to help you get the idea.Then, I thought, this might already be in the book <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />So what that says, is that Hinda maywant to make him aware of the aide that's out there.If he wants to work from there, to build one that's dedicated to a specific language, he can move it from a +2, to a +4, and bring the cost to one gear pick.</blockquote>
