So, do all Ghosts work as translators for Guardians?

Do all Ghost have some sort of universal translator device inside them, that lets us, the Guardian, understand & or respond to every language spoken by the other races? Caitl's English is flawless, yet, her crew do not speak in any form of speech, but she can? She must've been a Harvard graduate..🤣

  • No because when you fight fallen and cabal they speak their native language caiatl and mithrax only speak English so we can understand them

  • Have you never watched a modern Star Trek series (Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager)? Universal Translator software is a Mini microchip is implanted in the inner ear, so a Ghost has to have thousands of languages on file and the ability to translate new ones. The Traveler has encountered an unknown number of Planets and would have learned everything about any life forms.

      • No, they don't translate. Only some of the other species learned our language, (Catail, Mithrax, Variks) because they need to be able to communicate with humans. Our Guardian doesn't care/have a need to learn other species languages.

      • Look at Variks, if our ghosts translated. He would speak perfect English. Granted we know from lore, he actually can but talks that way to throw off people.

      • Realistically it’s a “because video games” moment, but there was lore precedent to the cabal and humanity specifically trying to understand each other’s languages in D1 for tactical advantages if I remember correctly. Almost every other language though (please say Velaask to the fallen), no shot it’s anything but ghost deciding he knows all.

        • Caitl probably studied our language to prepare for negotiating with Zavala in Season of The Chosen. That would be a cool piece of lore to include if it was true.
